Pinot Noir 2022
In: Moonlight Range / Pinot Noir Red /
Planted in the clay-schist and sand soils, with low production potential, the Vicentino’s grapes bear their best attributes. The low productivity imposed by the soil enhances the quality of the grapes, promoting an optimum mix of organic acids, sugars and phenolic compounds. The achievement of this balance between quality and quantity, together with the mild climate allows to aim for excellency.
Pinot Noir.
Handpicked Harvest. Careful grape selection ar the winery. Grapes are destemmed but 20% whole bunch grapes is added. Fermentation occurs during 8 days, followed by a 4 week prolonged maceration period.
For 12 months , 60% fermented in new 228 litres French oak barrels, and ing barrels and 40% fermented in used 500 litres French oak barrels.
Open ruby colour. The aromatic elegance of Pinot Noir variety is shown by the typical ripe cherry and raspberry that are enhanced by a spicy and graphite palate, with thin notes of toast from the French oak barrels where it aged.
In the palate is vibrant and, mineral, showing a subtle herbaceous note and suggesting great ageing potential. Long, fresh and salty finish.
Very gastronomic wine, pairing greatly with grilled tuna, roasted duck or elegantly cooked red meats. Also pairs wonderfully cured cheeses like the typical S. Jorge Azores cheese (24 months maturation), or yet pairing with dark chocolate mousse with strawberries.
We recommend serving it between 16ºC and 8ºC.
