Quinta Do Pessegueiro Monocasta Touriga Nacional Tinto

Description

This Monocasta from Quinta do Pessegueiro seems to have undergone a rather peculiar, almost reverent, process. The grapes, harvested in September, were treated with the care typically reserved for newborns – transported in 25kg crates and chilled for 12 hours before a delicate pressing. The fermentation, using both balseiros and lagares with gravity-led extraction, clearly prioritizes the soul of the Touriga Nacional. After 18 months aging in French and Austrian oak, the wine has evolved with a philosopher's grace. It’s a fantastic match for grilled beef, a pairing that truly honours the traditions of the Douro Valley.
