Taboadella Tinto

Descrição

Taboadella Os Villae are non‑woodaged lots that showcase the character of Taboadella. They are intense, delicately perfumed, lighter, with smooth tannins and a refreshing acidity. With four distinct grape varieties, the Taboadella Unoaked Tinto 2023 is a unique blend that can be described as a “perfect marriage”. Tinta Roriz provides structure and robustness, Jaen reveals all its energy and intensity, Alfrocheiro contributes a refreshing minerality, while Tinta Pinheira enriches the lot with forest and woodland aromas. The wine does not mature in wood (Unoaked), preserving freshness and the expression of the grapes. Suggested pairing: pairs well with grilled meats, roasts, sausages, hearty pasta sauces, and aged cheeses.

A mild spring, coupled with an intentional delay of pruning for technical reasons, avoided late frosts in the first fortnight of April in the Dão region. Flowering proceeded normally, favoring optimal bunch development. June, July, and part of August recorded low rainfall and high temperatures. The heat peak at the end of August slightly advanced the harvest, but mild nights allowed good grape development and ripening. These temperature fluctuations, combined with the soil’s water richness, provided balanced ripening, yielding exceptionally quality grapes. The Taboadella microclimate enabled the production of wines with profile and richness that reflect the terroir while maintaining fidelity to the regional style.
