Pretexto Tinto

Description

This Pretexto from Palhete is a Dão that delightfully reminds us rustic can be remarkably elegant. Grown on high-altitude vines, hand-harvested and rooted in granite soils – it’s a recipe for a wine brimming with freshness. Primarily driven by cherry notes, with a vibrant red fruit vibrancy, yet grounded by an acidity that ensures a lingering finish. The Touriga Nacional’s influence, particularly when used whole cluster, lends a characteristic herbaceousness which beautifully balances the fruit. A truly soulful Dão, perfect with freshly caught fish or smaller game birds.
