Since 2010, António Madeira has been researching, the places in this sub-region, that our ancestors elected as the best for vine, those that we might call the «Grands Crus of the Dão highlands» and found a series of old vines that are distinctive because of the authenticity of their grape varieties, the characteristics and nuances of their granite soils and sun exposures.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n2018 was a very hard year, we lost 60% of our grapes, mainly because of 3 months of rain between mid-April and mid-July and also because of 4 days of hot winds of 45°C that burned 30% of our grapes. Harvest started on September 23rd. 2018 was also our first vintage in biodynamics.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nA Palheira 2018 is a blend of 2 of the best old vineyards cultivated by Antonio, one 60 years old vine where the Baga dominates, and a 100 years old vine where pink granite gives a special character to the wine. The wines of these 2 vines where so good in 2018 that we decided to bottle it separately from the others old vineyards that usually goes to the blend of « Vinhas Velhas » red wine. So A Palheira 2018 shows the best results that we achieve in 2018 reds.","brand":"Artisan Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966807502917,"sku":"AM18APT","price":86.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8644\/4357\/files\/1b90e985-Da_CC_83o-A-Palheira-Tinto.jpg?v=1777951263","url":"https:\/\/artisanwine.com.au\/products\/antonio-madeira-dao-a-palheira-tinto-2018","provider":"Artisan Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
