QUINTA DE CHOCAPALHA TINTO

£19.95
Sold Out

Paulo and Alice Tavares da Silva bought this historic Quinta in the Eighties and immediately set about investing in the property. This is a lovely property, 45 hectares in size, in Alenquer region, northeast of Lisbon.

Deep colour of violet tonality, good concentration in the nose. Rich perfume of mature black fruit, spices and floral notes. Very fine and elegant on the palate with soft tannins combined with good acidity and a long aftertaste.

The grapes, which were previously de-stemmed, went through a pre-fermenting maceration at low temperatures during 12 hours. Fermentation took place in lagares with successive pressings by robot and in stainless steel vats during 10 days, not exceeding 27ºC. The aging and malolactic fermentation occurred during 18 months in used French oak barriques.
