Jose Maria da Fonseca J de Jose de Sousa 2017 Tinto
Reviews
Named after the owner of the Alentejo estate that the Fonseca family bought in 1986.
A ruby red full wine with a complex fruity, mineral and floral aroma such as cassis, blackberries, black pepper, violet, black chocolate, plum, wood. On the palate, very soft and velvety, fruity and very elegant with some light notes of tannins present, but very soft and good complexity in the long finish.
Food pairing
Delicious with pork stew with red wine, juniper berries and herbs & tagliatelle with wild duck ragout with dried black olives
Grapes: 60% Grand Noir, 28% Touriga Francesa , 12% Touriga Nacional
The harvest is manual, then the grapes are carefully selected by hand, separating the perfect berries and bunches that will be used. The crushing of the grapes for the extraction of the must is done with the feet in a small press to prevent the seeds from breaking and the wine getting poor quality tannins. Part of the wine is fermented in mills, the other part in clay amphorae for eight days, followed by 2 weeks of skin contact. The wine is transferred to new French oak barrels where it is aged for 14 months. After maturation, the final batch is made and bottled without filtration and stabilization.
