2019 Druida red

Druida is a red wine produced from grapes coming from vineyards planted at altitude. It was fermented in the press, keeping the stalks and matured for almost two years in barrels.

It presents itself with an enormous aromatic intensity and finesse, with wild berries, and elegant floral notes, all very fine and precise, full and enveloping, with high-quality fruit.

This young producer works with vineyards from 30 years old to centennial by the central region of the country. Dão's are planted on a plateau 500 meters above sea level. The climate, with great thermal amplitudes, is influenced mainly by the Serra do Caramulo to the west and Serra da Estrela to the Southeast. The soils are granite and on the surface there is a surprising abundance of rolled rock. The wines are made in an old stone cellar, where the winemaking is quite minimalist. Like the ancient Druids of the Celtic civilizations, who had a great connection to the earth and sought spiritual balance through the balance of nature, what we look for in wines is the sensory balance through the harmony between the soil, the climate and the plants.
