Fitapreta o Alfrocheiro TB Quer Estar Nu 2018
Alentejo, Central and Southern Portugal, PortugalAlfrocheiro likes to be naked. Going on that premise, which inspired the name, this, the first wine made from these 47 year old dry farmed vines, sees no time in oak, to reveal the pure nature of the grape. Rooted in broken schist and granite soils, this was native fermented and rested in stainless barrels until bottling. The dense 15.5% palate is compact with wild blackberry and black plum, scented with fragrant cherry blossoms, bedded with a fine layer of wax, and seasoned with medicinal herbal scrub. Tannins are long, fine, firm, and structural, housing this to a lingering finish. Quite impactful, and age-worthy. Only 1982 bottles were produced.Tasted: 18 February 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $42.95 | 750ml | consignment |
