2018 Giz by Luís Gomes Vinhas Velhas red

Made from the Baga grape variety, grown in century-old vineyards planted in poor, stony soils, Giz is a wine full of elegance and complexity, aged for 20 months in French oak barrels.

The delicate and well-defined aroma presents very evident ripe red fruits, accompanied by floral notes, cedar, vanilla, coffee, liquorice and forest soil. In the mouth, it is elegant, with lots of minerality and freshness, reflecting the limestone soils of its origin. It is a deep, structured and complex wine with a long and persistent finish.

Coming from Bairrada, between the foothills of the Buçaco Mountains and the sea, comes Giz, a wine that uniquely expresses the characteristics of the limestone soils from which it comes.

Originated from century-old vines and produced from native grape varieties, planted in poor and stony soils, the intervention in the production process is minimal, both in the vineyard and in the winery.

So, after an artisanal vinification, the wine rests for 8 months in French oak barrels, to obtain a nectar without masks, authentic, structured, elegant and complex, full of individuality and character.
