A region destined to produce great wine, an exceptional vintage and the talent of a passionate winemaker; the combination makes for an impressive red wine. As the first edition, Definido Red 2018 has a fine and elegant wine as a result of the intention to create a fine wine with a typical extraction from the Dao region. The grapes composing this wine are from different Sub-Regions of Dão. The age of the vines ranges between 60 and more 100 years. Many of these grapes come from monovarietal vineyards, but also from vineyards with a wide mixture of grape varieties typical of the region, such as Tinta Pinheira, Tinta Carvalha, Baga, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Feminino, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro, Jaen, among others.
The grapes were harvested manually and the first selection happened directly in the field. Only the grapes suitable for our quality criteria were harvested. These were delicately transported in 15 kg boxes to our cellar where a strict sorting happened before processing them. Only the bunches that really proved to be perfect were sent by gravity to the old cement vats (1962), where alcoholic fermentation occurred naturally and without any addition of chemicals and / or yeasts. Then, part of the wine was transferred to age in in French oak barrels for 20 months. The remaining wine, after being cleaned from the bunches, aged in the same cement vat. During this stage, malolactic fermentation took place. 24 months later, a blend from a strict selection of each barrel was assembled for the Definido Red.
