Quinta do Popa Contos da Terra 2019 Tinto

€ 9.30

This entry-level red wine from Quinta do Pôpa has a young ruby color. Has aromas of red fruit and a slight hint of mint. Is soft and creamy on the palate, elegant and soft from tannin. A wine with structure and great taste and therefore a versatile and extraordinarily gastronomic red wine.

Excellent wine with red (grilled) meat dishes, pasta, stew with lamb or game (venison, venison)

Grapes: Tinta Roriz (30%), Touriga Franca (30%), Touriga Nacional (30%) & Tinta Barroca (10%)

Reception of the grapes in boxes of 20 kg, followed by total destemming and slight crushing. Part of the batch was fermented in stainless steel vats (ganimede) with temperature cycles between 20ºC and 24ºC; the reruns were carried out by the carbonic gas formed in the yeast activity. The other part of the batch was fermented in a stainless steel vat, initially with a brief pre-fermentative maceration in cold, followed by fermentation in tanning for 8 to 10 days, at temperatures between 24ºC and 28ºC, and with frequent reruns. After the alcoholic fermentation, the masses were separated with the liquid and the malolactic fermentation began in stainless steel, where it remained until the date of bottling.
