The local grapes - Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa and Tinta Roriz - grow in fine soils with some schist in vineyards near Cambres, in the western part of the Douro valley and south of the river. The climate here is warm and dry, and some of the vines are over 50 years old. After harvesting fermentation takes place in stainless steel, with a small portion (around 10%) ageing for 4 months in 2nd year French oak barrels, before the final blending and bottling.
Natural Mystic D.O.C. Vinho Verde 2021
Regular price £15.95Decanter.com
"Talc-edged, with lime flower and zesty lemon and lime aromatics. Ticking the classic boxes, it is (just) off-dry, with slight petillance. Deftly balanced residual sugar (4.4g/l) gently softens the edges, without detracting from its juiciness.
Sourced from around Amarante, well inland, the fruit intensity (citrus with delicate nectarine bite) makes for a friendly style with a zippy finish. Still going strong on day two - a testament to quality fruit."
