Taboadella R Alfrocheiro Dao Tinto – 2020 (750ml)

Description

The Alfrocheiro grape variety first emerged in Portugal and in the Dão region after the phylloxera epidemic and finds its natural territory in this region. We do not know of any foreign or national origins of this grape variety, but it was once known as the “Tinta Francesa de Viseu” (equal to French red grape variety from Viseu). It is a very rare, high-altitude grape variety, that teaches us to produce small amounts and respect its fragility, in order to obtain firm, delicate and structuring tannins.The generous fruit, precision, complexity and concentration, combined with the elegance and fluidity of the musts, has enabled us to produce wines with a profile and richness that mirror this unique terroir.
