2019 was a good year with fresh and ripe grapes. Os Granitos 2019 is the expression of a 100 years old vineyard with great character. We are facing what could be considered as a « Grand Cru » of the Dão Serra da Estrela. In this small parcel we find a great variation of soils, about 5 types of soils, varying the colors and textures of granites in the different areas of the vineyard. The result is a complex, mineral, fine and full of energy wine, showing a classic side of Dão Serra da Estrela.
This wine expresses the character and elegance of the land that witnessed its birth and takes us on a journey through time to discover the aromas and flavours of Serra da Estrela foothills, just as it was in the past. Floral, sappy nose with lovely aromatics. The palate is so fresh, bright, direct and elegant with supple raspberry and cherry fruit with some nice green hints, and even a touch of peachy richness. It’s juicy and bright with good acidity and lovely precision. The tannins are nicely resolved: this has focus and purity and a brightness to it. A “Grand Cru” of Dão Serra da Estrela.
