Paulo Laureano Tinto

Description

Paulo Laureano The Vidigueira region, with its distinctive characteristics, has always attracted people and families from other regions, who brought new grape varieties here. Some of these have shown remarkable adaptation, as is the case with Alfrocheiro, a grape from Beira that produces exotic wines of refined quality. Alfrocheiro is a variety originating from the Dão, and it has been in Vidigueira for over a hundred years, adapting extraordinarily well to the region’s soil and climate. However, it is a demanding grape, requiring controlled vigor and low yields to produce extremely balanced wines that can maintain high acidity and robust tannins, making it so essential in these sunny southern lands. The red wine Miguel Maria Laureano belongs to the Paulo Laureano Genus Generationes collection, a range that takes the names of family members and features rare, exotic, and different wines. “This is our blue wine, because of its aroma of blue fruits—blueberries and ripe blackberries. It is elegant, balanced, with surprising freshness and a long, harmonious finish, as if it were excellent music. That is why Alfrocheiro is Miguel Maria, the family’s musician.” Fermentation in conical trunk tanks and aging for 12 months in new French oak barrels. Food pairings: game, baked goat, oily fish baked.
