Menin Vintage 2020

MENIN PORTO VINTAGE 2020 is born from the selection of grape varieties that are planted in plots with the maximum classification for Port Wine, the plots of "Letter A". Originating from Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Field Blend vineyards, the different plots are located in predominantly South and West exposures, thus enabling wines of enormous concentration

Grape Varieties: 60% Touriga Franca, 25% Touriga Nacional, 15% Field Blend.

Vinification: The grapes are transported in 18Kg capacity boxes to the winery in order to preserve all the integrity of the bunch. After a first selection, the grapes are destemmed and a second selection is made, berry by berry, in order to eliminate dehydrated berries that could transmit overripe notes to the wine. The grapes were co-fermented in lagares where fermentation took place with indigenous yeasts. The temperature control allowed the fermentation kinetics to be regulated in order to make possible a more intense and prolonged extraction. Once the desirable baumé was reached, the wine press was fortified with the addition of grape brandy. After 48 hours, the liquid was separated from the masses where a "repisa" was madee liquid was separated from the solids, followed by a "re-treating".

Ageing: 100% in INOX

Tasting Notes: MENIN PORTO VINTAGE 2020 is an opaque ruby color wine with violet hints. On the nose, it is very intense, with notes of black fruit, blackberries, blackcurrant jam, ripe red wild fruit and a slight balsamic imparting freshness. In the mouth, the aromatic sensations are repeated, with the flavors of dried figs, ripe red fruits and a slight taste of blueberry. The tannins are powerful and very polished, but thanks to its acidity, it is fresh and very persistent. A wine that by its structure, complexity and acidity, will evolve over the next 50 years.

Oenology: João Rosa Alves / Tiago Alves de Sousa.
