Tapada de Coelheiros Vinha do Taco Tinto 2014

A vineyard with history. Located between two water lines and a cork oak forest, the Vinha do Taco expresses a unique profile with perfect exposure coupled with granitic soils. The Vinha do Taco is produced only in years of exceptional quality and in limited quantities. It serves as a fine example of the extraordinary aging potential of Coelheiros wines.

Grape Varieties: Petit Verdot

Tasting Notes: Deep color. On the nose, it shows complexity, highlighting cassis, and hints of moss. On the palate, it reveals robustness, offering a velvety texture. The tannins are firm, integrating well with the acidity. The palate is generous in the intensity of black fruit, dark chocolate, and an earthy touch that lingers into a long and memorable finish.

Vinification: The grapes were hand-harvested in 25kg boxes and transported to the winery, where they were destemmed. The alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 26–27°C. The malolactic fermentation occurred naturally in stainless steel tanks, and then it was transferred to barrels, where it remained for 18 months.
