Atelier Palhete 2023
This wine is a co-fermentation of 20% white grapes (mainly Gouveio, Arinto, and Rabigato) and 80% red grapes (mainly Tinta Barroca picked from the coolest spot in the vineyard near a stream and lots of trees), that is done in old granite lagars without any temperature control. After only 4 days, the wine went to a vertical press and then aged in stainless steel tanks over the winter for a gravity-led bottling without any fining or filtration. The resulting wine is low in extraction, low in alcohol, and wildly expressive and aromatic
Frey Grande Tinto 018
Pinot Tinto, Touriga and Rufete undergoing free fermentation of whole bunches in lagar with carbonic fermentation and gentle treading. From barrel to bottle. Elegant structure.
Frey É Branco 022
Vineyard blend in different winemaking styles. Gouveio, Malvasia Fina, Cercial do Douro and Verdelho ferment freely in tanks and barrels, partly through carbonic fermentation. Minerality and salinity, good volume and freshness.
Zimbro Cinco Marias
A blend of five grape varieties, vinified in two different ways: in traditional lagares (traditional stone troughs) and in stainless steel. It was aged for 18 months in oak barrels. Very appealing in aroma, with ripe fruit but with extraction at just the right point to maintain balance.
