Description

The Inóspito Almendra Vinhas Velhas red comes from an old vineyard, planted in 1850, located between 200 and 250 metres of altitude in the Douro Superior sub-region, near the parish of Almendra. The hand-harvested grapes come from poor, schist-based soils, giving the wine a unique profile, fresh, complex, and structured, without any tartaric correction. The fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, carried out in foot-trodden granite lagares. The wine is aged for 18 months in new and used French oak barrels (Bertrange forest). This wine, the result of a field blend of more than 45 grape varieties, reflects the minerality, acidity, and freshness of the terroir, being a pure and authentic expression of the Douro.

Geographic Wines is a project by Daniela Matias and Nuno Morais Vaz, aiming to create wines that showcase the authentic characteristics of the grape varieties and the terroirs from which they originate.
