Viuva Gomez, Sao Martinho Tinto 2023

Produktbeskrivelse

Sao Martinho er lavet udelukkende på Castelao druen og må derfor ikke bære betegnelsen Colares. Druerne er håndplukkede, halvdelen fodtrædes i hele klaser, resten tilsættes i hele klaser og gærer i store ståltanke med kun 7 dages skindkontakt. En super elgeant rødvin med en akuratesse og livlighed i frugten som er sjælden. Tilhængere af lyse og lette Jura vine vil føle sig helt hjemme her, og alkoholniveauet er beskedne 10.3% vol.  Lagringspotentialet er 10-15 år.

“The 2023 São Martinho was produced with Castelão grapes from seven-year-old vines grown on stony limestone soils within the region of Colares from the parish of São Martinho but sold as IGP Lisboa. This is a more continental zone close to the Serra de Sintra mountains. The grapes were foot trodden, and the wine aged in two 500-liter barrels made of chestnut and mahogany wood. This is pale, aromatic, floral and delicate. It had a maceration of seven days and achieved no more than 10.5% alcohol, keeping a pH of 3.4 and 6.5 grams of acidity. It has a light- to medium-bodied palate with an ethereal profile and very fine tannins. It matured in 500-liter chestnut and mahogany barrels. This is the first vintage for this wine, one of the most (if not THE most) elegant Castelão I can think of ” 94p, Luis Gutierrez, Robert Parker.com
