Herdade De Grous Tinto

Description

Herdade dos Grous The wines of Herdade dos Grous stand out for their strong personality, showcasing the terroir’s distinct characteristics. They are defined by freshness and the purity of the fruit, offering excellent longevity in the reds and a heightened aromatic richness in the whites. This wine comes from a blend of Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, and Syrah. After vinification, it is aged for nine months in French oak barrels. The winter of 2021 brought high levels of precipitation, helping replenish the soil’s water reserves. In spring, brief heat spikes followed by mild temperatures accelerated the vine’s phenological development. Summer remained moderate, allowing a regular and balanced ripening of the grapes, with the harvest beginning in early August, similar to the previous year. **Viticulture** - Soils: sedimentary slate and grauque, predominantly loamy - Irrigation: drip - Yield: 6 t/ha **Enology** - Grapes: Aragonez (35 %), Alicante Bouschet (35 %), Touriga Nacional (20 %), Syrah (10 %) - At reception, the grapes undergo manual selection. - Fermentation takes place in trunk‑conical tanks with destemming. - Followed by a nine‑month aging period in French oak barrels. **Pairing** Ideal with meat dishes, baked cod, and hard cheeses. **Allergen Information** Contains sulfites.
