Quinta da Boavista Vineyard do Oratorio

winemaking

The harvest is done manually, with manual selection of bunches. The berries are destemmed and gently crushed. Traditional granite lagares with foot treading were used as fermentation tanks, later the wine aged in French oak barrels for at least 18 months. All wines are sealed with natural cork. Not being filtered or cold stabilized, they can give rise to a precipitate with age.

Tasting Note

“Sometimes you come home with Autumn…” begins Eugénio de Andrade in a poem named after that, and sometimes you can find all the seasons of the year in a wine. This would be the first stanza if we had to write a poem to Vinha do Oratório 2017. With a full aroma, in which we get lost in the copious notes of red fruit, subtly wrapped in floral hints, edged with a fine touch of spices, this wine goes on. seizing all the senses, conquering them for its creaminess, generous texture and final freshness. a timeless wine
