Viticulture & Vinification: Growing season 2013 was marked by a cooler than usual start. Summer was fairly hot and dry which facilitated vineyard work. However, rain came at the worst possible time as we approached harvest. Thankfully we decided to harvest all our grapes before the deluge. Grapes handpicked during the cool hours of the early morning. After de-stemming, the grapes were gently pressed. Fermentation with temperature control for about 15 days. Matured on fine lees for several months. Filtered and bottled in May of 2015.

Vinho Regional Transmontano

Tasting Note: Brilliant, pale ruby red grapefruit. Fruit forward but mineral driven with lively strawberry, watermelon, and a subtle savory rosemary component. A dry rosé bursting with juicy, mouthwatering acidity. Medium body and well balanced with a satiny, round mouth feel.

Vinho Regional Transmontano

Tasting Note: Intense aromas of red plum, black cherry, violet, tomato leaf, rosemary and a touch of freshly turned earth and mushroom. Dry, medium body with well integrated acidity. Mouth filling, ripe but fresh black fruit aroma lingers on the palate and evolves into lilac and savory herbal aroma on the finish. The weight, aroma and acidity make this a superb red wine for the table.
