Viúva Gomes Colares Red 2019

Lehdistö

96/100p The Wine Advocate (Gutierrez): "The 2019 Colares Tinto was produced with Ramisco grapes from ungrafted vines grown on sandy soils mostly close to the sea, from different plots, from centenary to very young. The whole clusters were foot trodden and fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, and the wine matured in a mixture of French barriques, 500-liter chestnut and mahogany (!) barrels and stainless steel. It has a characterful and nuanced nose, very perfumed and attractive, herbal, characterful, with notes of exotic woods (you bet!). It's surprisingly elegant and approachable. It has contained ripeness and alcohol, 11.5%, with a pH of 3.65 and 5.7 grams of acidity. 2019 was a very good year, warm but not as warm as 2015 or 2017. The wine is superb. 1,600 half-liter bottles were filled."
