Teixuga is a red wine that displays a broad aromatic spectrum, full of notes of maturation, ripe red fruits, candied plums, blackberries and blueberries. It presents fantastic balsamic notes, and aromas of vanilla, spices and tobacco, surrounded by crisp mineral notes, imposing tannins and very balanced acidity.
Winemaking:
Teixuga is a red wine produced from the red grapes of Touriga Nacional's red grapes variety from the oldest vines of the Quinta da Teixuga, 50 to 70 years old of the Dão wine region. After partial destemming, and pressing, the wine was macerated with the skins prior to being transferred to stainless steel vats where the fermentation process took place. After the fermentation process, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels where it was subjected to regular stirring for 40 months prior to being bottled. It stayed in the bottle for 18 months prior to being released.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional and other red grape varieties from old vines.
Tasting Notes:
Teixuga is a complex and opulent red wine, from the Dão wine region. Showing aromas of macerated ripe red fruits, it also displays notes of candied black fruit, notes of black plum and blackberries along with balsamic notes, spices and vanilla. It is a red wine with an unusual balance, with imposing and fleshy tannins, stunning freshness and very elegant acidity.
