Ontem Tinto

Description

“Ontem” from Concêito Wines offers a genuine glimpse into the heart of the Douro, where centuries of tradition playfully meet a daring spirit. Born from vineyards that still nurture a tiny community of just 200 souls, this wine presents a delightful contradiction – vibrant acidity alongside a remarkable structural backbone. The blend of Rufete, Baga, and Touriga Franca offers enticing aromas of wild berries, perfectly balanced by that signature Douro freshness. Fermented entirely within the skins of the grapes, and then patiently aged for 18 months in 20% used oak barrels, it delivers a luxuriously smooth texture, almost like the finest silk. Essentially, it’s a wine that embodies the Concêito Wines philosophy: balance is key. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised – it would pair beautifully with a succulent grilled fish or a hearty beef dish that truly appreciates its invigorating character.
