Trinca Bolotas 2018

Vinified at Herdade do Peso from selected grapes. After studying their maturation, the grapes were collected at their optimum point of phenolic/aromatic maturation prior to vinification. After destemming and soft-crushing, pre-fermentative maceration took place for 3-4 days, in order to increase the wine's aromatic and polyphenolic complexity. Fermentation followed at a controlled temperature of 26ºC for a period of 7 days. The musts were subsequently pressed, once the desired organoleptic balance had been reached. After malolactic fermentation, the wines were transferred to French and Caucasian oak barrels, where they aged for about 6 months. In order to preserve its great quality, the wine was bottled without cold treatment, and therefore a natural deposit can form in the bottle.

All the grapes used in this wine were produced in accordance with the Sustainable Agriculture Integrated Production guidelines as defined by the International Organisation for Biological and Integrated Control (OILB/IOBC).

Intense ruby colour. This wine has an aroma of vibrant red fruit with floral notes, courtesy of the Touriga Nacional grape variety. On the palate, it is incredibly balanced with very smooth tannins and a refreshing acidity. An extremely gastronomic wine with a long finish.

Serve Trinca Bolotas Red at between 16ºC-18ºC. This is a very versatile wine due to the balance that exists between its tannins, acidity and fruit. It can be consumed on its own, or accompanied by pasta or white meat dishes, or other traditional - yet sophisticated- cuisine.
