2023 Rapariga da Quinta Luis Duarte Red Aragonez - Cabernet Sauvignon - Alicante Bouschet 0.75 Ltr. Tinto
picture of

Lovely deep violet colour. Red fruit aromas and toasty notes from barrel ageing. Rich in fruit and lingering, with a good structure of soft tannins that will give the wine a good development in the bottle.

It is ideal to accompany traditional Mediterranean food, as well as meat and pasta dishes.

climate

Continental Mediterranean climate; high daily temperatures in the summer months; remarkable diurnal temperature range.

soil

Soils of granitic origin with some patches of soils derived from schist and quartz.

vinification

The grapes are destemmed, gently crushed and transferred into stainless steel vats. The most important characteristic in the making of this wine is the length of the pre-fermentation maceration and the rigorous extraction during the beginning of the alcoholic fermentation. The juice is then inoculated with selected yeasts and fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. The wine is matured in old 300-litre French oak barrels for 12 months.
