Inóspito Almendra Vinhas Velhas Tinto

Description

This Inóspito Almond is a delightful contradiction – born from a vineyard that’s witnessed the 19th century, nestled between 200 and 250 metres high in the Douro Superior, it’s a true testament to the resilience of the schistous soil. The spontaneous fermentation, carried out by foot in a granite lagar, imparts a freshness that belies its age. With over 45 indigenous grape varieties contributing to a pronounced minerality, and aged in fine French oak (from the Forêt de Bertrange), it delivers an incredibly elegant integration, making it a superb match for grilled beef dishes.
