Preta Cuvée Tinto

On request

Concept: Preta, produced since 2004, only in the years that Nature allows, was always made in a complementary manner between David and António until the 2011 harvest. David Booth, founding partner, winegrower and an exceptional human being, left too soon . Preta, “Cuvée David Booth” since 2013, is our best effort to produce a wine that makes David proud. This is our tribute. The Preta was produced in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Soils: The vineyards are cultivated on very poor soils of schist or granite origin, naturally producing very concentrated grapes.

Viticulture: The grapes are grown either under organic production or under Certified Integrated Production without the use of herbicides, with the majority being dryland, without irrigation. Our vineyards are also all certified within the Alentejo sustainability program.

Vinification: Manual harvest in 18kg boxes. After sorting, the grapes are de-stemmed and slightly crushed. The grapes fall directly into the vat by gravity, without the use of pumps. Cold pre-maceration until fermentation begins spontaneously. Total maceration approximately 40 days.

Aging: 24 months in French oak, 30% new oak 70% second and third use French oak.
