Picotes Palhete

This is a wine from Trás-os-Montes made from the combined fermentation of white and red grapes, with notes of red fruit and spices. Produced with century-old vines and manually, they must have brief contact with the skins (about 4 days) to preserve freshness and minerality. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for about 9 months.

These grapes were sourced from a centenary vineyard located 100 meters from the right margin of the Tâmega river in the Trás-os-Montes region, near the town of Vidago. Here the traces of the past are everywhere. A two thousand year old roman bridge crossing the river nearby. Monasteries from the 11th and 12th century as well as traces of history from two hundred years of the Kingdom of the Suebi. A Germanic tribe who controlled Galiza and Northern Portugal (from the 5th to the 7th Century).
