FITAPRETA VINHOS - FITAPRETA TINTO - 2021
SKU# 200609

Region: Alentejo – Evora

Colour: Red

Grape Variety: Aragonez 40%, Trincadeira 20%,  Alicante Bouschet 30% & Castelao 10%

Alcohol: 14.5% vol.                                  

Producer Notes:  Produced in the hot and dry Mediterranean climate of the southern part of  Portugal. It is an  area known for producing naturally low yields of concentrated grapes. Sustainably farmed in the  rocky schist soils. Grapes from vineyards aged from 7 to 50 years.  Grapes were hand picked, hand sorted, sliced, and  fermented with indigenous yeasts. After native fermentation in vats for 20 days, aged 10 months French oak barrel (50%) and steel vats 50%. 

Tasting Notes: “ A rather substantial offering. It might even be better in time; shows fine depth, beautiful fruit and hints of finesse. The tannins are ripe, making this easy to enjoy. For the regular Tinto this is a steal and a fine value point. It's a great choice for a house pour. It will hold a reasonable time and can still improve.”
