Dona Cremilde Red

Tasting Notes

Open color, an intense ruby. The nose is very elegant and fresh, with lively red fruit predominating. Tannins present, but already tamed, showing signs that it could improve with time. It is also very elegant in the mouth, with a freshness and acidity that portend good aging potential. Lingering finish.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested in 20 kg boxes and received at the winery. The manual sorting and stemming is followed by crushing in a granite mills with traditional treading, followed by maceration and alcoholic fermentation between the mills and the vats. After fermentation, in granite mills with foot treading and temperature control, maturation takes place over 12 months, in a blend of stainless steel vats and French oak barrels.

Food Paring

Ideal to accompany roasted meat dishes, game, smoked meat, cod and cheeses.
