About this Wine

Vinification

A field blend of Jaen and Castelão, harvested in the third week of September. Tinta Miúda was harvested later, in the second week of October. The élevage was carried out with 40% in used French oak barrels and 60% in cement tanks, giving a balance between structure and freshness. No allergenic or animal products are used in the winemaking process.

Tasting Notes

Elegant aroma of wild berries, combined with perfectly integrated French oak notes. Soft, with an endless finish.

Soil & Climate

Soils of sedimentary origin with a clayey texture and high lime content. Mild climate with marked Atlantic influence.

Barca do Inferno Vineyard

The history of the Barca do Inferno vineyard and wine is closely linked to the legacy of Mário Arrenegado, who acquired Quinta do Garrido in 1963. Located at an altitude of 330 metres, it has ideal conditions for quality viticulture, thanks to its exposure to the Atlantic, the calcareous soils and the protection of the Montejunto mountain range.

Mário was a pioneer in the introduction of foreign grape varieties, such as Syrah and Chardonnay, but preserved and valued Portuguese grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional and Arinto. He innovated by studying the plots of the Quinta in detail, promoting a viticulture adapted to the characteristics of the soil.

Creating a lasting legacy while respecting the family tradition is something that has driven them for many generations. Today Francisco Arrenegado Macieira, winemaker and 4th generation of the family, is in charge of the project. It was necessary to walk a long path, learn from the experience of past generations and create new experiences that would allow us to find the answers to the wines I aspired to produce. Experiment, experiment... to get to know the vineyards in detail. I argue that only in this way, armed with the true and deep knowledge of each parcel of vineyard and the most appropriate techniques in transforming the grape into wine, could it offer wines that express its identity and that could only be produced with grapes from the family's vineyards.
