Quinta Do Portal Tinto

Description

Quinta do Portal This wine is produced from the grape varieties Touriga Nacional (45%), Tinta Roriz (40%) and Touriga Francesa (15%). The grapes were hand‑picked between 1 and 29 September, transported in small boxes to preserve fruit integrity. Average yield was 5.5 t ha. Alcoholic fermentation took place with maceration in stainless‑steel tanks at 24‑26 °C, followed by a nine‑month ageing on French oak barrels (new and used). Bottling occurred in May 2025, with natural cork. The 2023 vintage was marked by a humid winter and spring, which replenished water levels after a dry 2022. Summer was mild, with regular and gradual grape ripening. Mild pressure was recorded in May and June, but was effectively controlled. The red varieties were harvested from 4 September, achieving a good balance between ripeness and freshness. Both white and red wines retained good acidity and expressiveness. Food pairing: Ideal with meat or cheeses. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Can age more than 10 years in cellar.
