Fitapreta Trincadeira Não é Tão Preta Signature Series 2015

Alentejo, Central and Southern Portugal, PortugalThis trincadeira preta (aka tinta amarela) 'is not black', as the label references, and refers to the fact Antonio Maçanita picks this early, against custom, and unlike most who wait until the fragile grape is super-ripe and often raisinated. This comes from the granite and schist soils of Alentejo, and was native fermented and aged in stainless. Balsamic, blackcurrant, black plums, dried violets are held brisk and taut, humming with black pepper and lofted with acidity. Quite fresh, belying its 14 degrees. A lovely opportunity to taste a pure trincadeira.Tasted: 18 December 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
