Quinta De São José Touriga Nacional Magnum Tinto

Description

Grapes hand-harvested into 25 kg crates at their ideal point of ripeness, aiming for a vigorous maturation that leads to greater aromatic and polyphenolic concentration. After gentle crushing and total destemming, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel vats and in a lagar (traditional treading tank), allowing the quality components present in the skins of fully ripe grapes to pass gently into the wine. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for approximately 12 months in used 300-litre French oak barrels. Deep, intense purple colour, with very complex and distinctive aromas, initially dominated by the fruity and floral character typical of the grape variety, followed by some spicy notes from the wood. On the palate it shows fruit, complexity, great balance and harmony, with tannins of high quality that give it a long finish. Contains sulphites.
