Sou Vinha da Ramada Tinto 2022

This is a joint project between producer Quinta de Santiago and winemaker and producer Nuno Mira do Ó. Born from sincere friendship and inspired by "Rock", a common passion beyond vineyards and wines! With a minimalist intervention, this irreverent red wine, filled with freshness and elegance, seeks to recover forgotten grape varieties in a region that was once dominated by red vineyards.

The 2022 vintage: The climatic year is characterized by high temperatures in both winter and spring. Rainfall below average. Summer in general hot and dry. The high temperature ranges of the region allowed a slow ripening that preserved a lot of freshness and acidity in these grapes from the classic vines on the "Ramada" trellis system. Harvest 22.09.22

Grape Varieties: 70% alvarelhão, pedral, borraçal, cainho, alvarinho, vinhão.

Tasting Notes: Medium open color. Fresh and elegant nose with notes of wild berries, spices and herbs. Very fresh in the mouth with good structure of very soft tannins, vibrant acidity and a long finish with fruit and spicy notes.

Winemaking: Hand harvested in mid-September. Fermentation with 40% of whole bunches and stalks, in vats and mills. Aging for 11 months in used French oak barrels and aging in bottle since August 2023.

Food Pairing: It is a highly gastronomic wine that, due to its freshness and texture, is able to accompany a wide variety of dishes from fatty fish to the famous Minho lamprey, through poultry, spicy curry dishes, pasta and even grilled red meats.
