Clandestino 2020 Red Wine

Clandestino Red Wine is the result of the happy marriage of two grape varieties promoted by the private terroir of Quinta da Teixuga.

Two international grape varieties are part of the blend, fermented together, thus promoting a superior integration of their particular qualities. One of the grape varieties is known for its aromatic personality, with dense hues, and full of notes of ripe white fruits.

Also, it plays more on austerity and delicacy, where light floral touches appear, contributing to the harmony of the lot! In the mouth the volume and density of one contrasts harmoniously with the firmness and containment of the other.One of the varieties is identified for its chromatic and aromatic intensity. The other, on the contrary, known for its discreet color and austere aromas which lend origin to a wine owning the best of both worlds. The aromatic exuberance of one, with tones of red and black berries appear integrated by the fineness and crispness of the other with its soft aromas, where one detects black cherry and dark chocolate, pepper and a refreshing minerality

From the Latin clandestinus. Kept secret or done secretively; covert behind-the-scenes; under-the-table; concealed or hidden; illegal or immoral. Planted at plain sight in the heart of Dão, the grapes that give birth to this Clandestino have a very distant origin. Produced by a number of accomplices, from harvest to bottling, this wine shows itself fresh, delicious, enigmatic and – so they say – immoral.
