Quinta De Arcossó Tinto

Description

Quinta de Arcossó Quinta de Arcossó occupies 0.8 ha of land, part of a 20 ha estate of century‑old vineyards that include white, red and rosé grape varieties. The vines are planted without a strict row pattern and are not supported by stakes or wires. In addition to the vines, the estate also features olive trees (not only along the boundaries) and other fruit trees, all situated at an average altitude of 440 m. The soil is of granitic origin. This wine is a faithful blend of red and rosé grapes, with no Touriga Nacional or Touriga Franca in the blend. Vinification: The grapes were harvested on 15 September and vinified in a press, with foot‑crushing. The wine aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, with only one‑third of the wine spending four months in new wood during each rotation. At each change, one‑third of the wine returned to the new‑wood barrel while the remainder aged in stainless steel. The resulting 2,000 bottles were sealed in July 2021 and will remain in the cellar for an additional three years. The wine was neither pressed nor filtered, a true homage to the ancestral vines.
