Dona Sancha Vinha Da Avarenta Tinto

Description

This Dona Sancha Vinha da Avarenta from the Dão is clearly a wine that's had a lengthy chat with those granite Silgueiros soils – 330 metres east-facing, you know. Predominantly Touriga Nacional and Jaen, sourced from a vineyard with a few stories to tell, it delivers a deep, aromatic ruby colour with a subtle balsamic note, hinting at the surrounding woodlands. Fermentation, meticulously controlled at 22-24°C, reveals a vibrant palate with tannins that demand attention and a refreshing acidity. The aging – starting in stainless steel and finishing in oak barrels – leaves a persistent finish, as confirmed by wine critics with a resounding 91 points. Perfect paired with red meat and aged cheeses for a truly unforgettable experience.
