Winemaking and Ageing

Termes 2019 is a monovarietal of Tinta de Toro whose grapes come from old vineyards of 30 to 50 years planted at 700m altitude in tiny plots distributed between the municipalities of Valdefinjas and Toro, on the slopes of the Douro River.

The harvest is done manually at the optimum point of maturity, applying a rigorous selection of bunches in the vineyard. For its elaboration, an 8-day fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature of 26-28ºC, with 2 daily Bâtonnages. Subsequently, a maceration is carried out with the skins, which lasts 21 days, also applying gentle Bâtonnage.

After fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for 16 months in its first-year in French oak barrels with racking every 4 months.

Termes 2019 Tasting Notes

• View: Termes has a bright red color with a high layer and violet highlights.
• Nose: The nose is fresh and fruity with aromas of blackberry, wild strawberry and cherries. These aromas are perfectly integrated with a touch of white pepper and rosemary with subtle notes of nutmeg and cinnamon.
• Palate: The sensation in mouth is balanced and vivacious fruity aromas predominating. After a live and intense attack we find an explosion of black cherries and fresh plums, ending in a long and persistent finish, with notes of cocoa and mocha.
