Mater-Dôme Tinto

Description

This Mater-Dôme, hailing from the remarkably situated Mêda in the Douro Superior (600 metres above sea level with schist-granite soils), is a compelling reminder that the earth still holds a few secrets. The winemaking, executed classically with a seriously impressive 20-day maceration and 13 years in French oak, delivers a frankly astonishing level of complexity. Expect notes of wild forest and vibrant red fruits – cherry and strawberry – to dance on the nose, while the lively acidity and impressive volume bestow a lasting elegance. It’s a wine that truly reveals itself with time, proving that high-altitude wines don’t necessarily need to be rushed. Absolutely perfect alongside hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses – a worthwhile investment in flavour and tradition.
