2021 Vinhas da Teixuga 2ª Edição red

Vinhas da Teixuga red is a garnet-coloured wine produced exclusively from the Alfrocheiro grape variety and aged for 28 months in new and used French oak barrels. The grapes come from vineyards located between 400 and 500 metres above sea level in the Terras de Senhorim sub-region, between the Dão and Mondego rivers, planted on granite soils and with an average age of 30 years. On the nose it shows great aromatic complexity, with ripe black fruits, suggesting blackberries and plums, surrounded by spices and balsamic notes. On the palate it is very fresh and elegant, with delicate tannins, it is very harmonious and shows great gastronomic aptitude.

Caminhos Cruzados was born from the initiative and will of Paulo Santos, a native of Nelas, who, determined to return to his origins to invest in the world of wine, decides to transform an old agricultural business into a modern company producing and bottling wines.

The company's philosophy is based on the production of quality wines, with a side of tradition combined with modernism and constant differentiation that the market demands. Its wines are made from its production grapes and those of selected producers, recognised for their quality and excellence of grape varieties, all in the Dão region.
