Natus 2022 Tinto

Natus Red Wine has an open cherry red, the colour has crystalline halo. The aromas of wild berries and forest floor in harmony with vegetable notes, translate into reactive acidity, with a creamy and elegant texture in the palate. Freshness and delicacy are its character and identity, never tiring, unfolding several layers of flavors, challenging the senses and delivering at the table.

Natus Red Wine

At the heart of Vidigueira, in the southern foothills of Serra do Mendro, in poor schist soils, the bush vines that make this wine are planted in a hot climate, buffered with cool nights. The traditional grape varieties, mainly Trincadeira and Castelão, were hand-picked and foot trodden for 2 days. At the initialization of the spontaneous fermentation, they were pressed and the must kept in uncoated 19th century clay pots (Talhas) until the end of the alcoholic fermentation. The 12-month aging was made in centenary 600L barrels made of Portuguese oak and chestnut, and 300L used French barrels.
