Cronica #328 Tinto

Description

This “Chronicle #328” from José Ribeiro Vieira reads like a personal crusade – a serious deep dive into Aragonez and Trincadeira, meticulously grown on single plots with a sun exposure that clearly demanded careful consideration. The hand-picked harvest ("bago a bago") speaks volumes about the dedication involved, and the time spent in 500L French oak barrels, combined with cold maceration, certainly aims for a sophisticated complexity. You get the distinct impression this wine is a reflection of a man who truly understood the land and his own voice – a fantastic match with grilled beef, I’d say.
