Tiago Cabaco .BLOG Alicante Touriga 2021
€ 41.00
Tiago Cabaços one of the most solid and striking names of the new generation of Alentejo wine producers. This .BLOG is a rare delicious red wine from Alentejo. This BLOG Preto (Black label) has a concentrated ruby red colour. It is comforting from the first instant because of its joy, minerality and seductive fruit, divided between red cherries, redcurrants and plums, accompanied by discreet floral sensations. It is a determined but smooth red wine, deeply mineral, intense but elegant and fresh, with an endless aftertaste.
Blog is a terroir wine, made on the vineyard and chosen from the finest areas of vines with an extremely low production

Foot trodden in stainless steel lagar with controlled temperature. Aged eighteen months in French oak barrels, half new and half second year
In 2020 we enjoyed an year with long, slow ripening of which our older vines and areas took full advantage and thus yielded grapes with a first rate balance between acidity and tannins. The grapes were harvested by hand and put into small boxes. The three varietals that derived most benefit from the exceptional generosity of nature were Syrah, Alicante Bouschet and Touriga Nacional, which yielded perfectly mature grapes. With such a wonderful raw material we did as less as possible and left the grapes to speak for themselves. So, we did little more that tread them in our stainless steel lagares, in keeping with the best traditions of the region, after which there was ageing in new and second year French oak barrels, to let the wine express itself in as pure a form as possible
