2017 Quinta do Valdoeiro Syrah red
概要
A wine produced from the Syrah grape variety, from a single plot and aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, it presents a vegetal character, combined with spicy notes, refined by the barrel toast. In the mouth it has a light and silky structure, with a long finish.
Situated in the parish of Vacariça, county of Mealhada, Quinta do Valdoeiro was acquired by the Messias Family, in the 1940s.
After 1985, Messias, having already as a crucial strategy the control of the raw material for the production of high-quality wines, carried out the gradual reconversion of the vineyards of Quinta do Valdoeiro.
Currently covering 130 hectares, of which 70 are dedicated to winegrowing, the property is included in an integrated protection zone, in which the enemies of the vine are combated using ecologically safe methods.
