Textura "Pretexto" Tinto Dão, 2019

Pretexto is a Portuguese red wine produced with grapes from different vineyards in Dão’s region. In 2019, these grapes came 50% from Penalva do Castelo (Jaen, Alfrocheiro and Tinta Roriz) from vines at 550-620 meters above sea level in granite and clay soils, and 50% from Vila Nova de Tazem (Jaen and Touriga Nacional) from vines on 100% granite soils and at 480-550 meters of altitude. All these vineyard plots are currently being converted for organic certification.

Light color of bright red. Very expressive in red fruits, with the evidence of cherry. The mouth goes with the fruit along with good acidity and a fresh and vegetable character. Tannins are present but smooth and it has a long finish. Is an elegant wine with the typical freshness of Dão.

The blend includes Jaen, Alfrocheiro and Tinta Roriz cofermented, as well as Jaen and Touriga Nacional.
