Defesa 2022 Red Wine

5/ 5

<p>Casal Garcia was born in 1939, a year in which the vintage was particularly good. Returning by train from the grape harvest in the Douro, the French oenologist Euge Hisse decided to interrupt his journey to Oporto after passing the vines of the Quinta da Aveleda, in Penafiel. The name came about by itself, since the wine was produced from one of the vines of Aveleda: that of Casal Garcia.</p> <p></p>

<p></p><p>André Herrera de Almeida started his activity as a winemaker in the final stage of his degree, after sharing harvests in both hemispheres he settled in Portugal where he gives oenological consultancy to four small producers in Alentejo.<br />Torero wines are produced in Murteirinha, André's family estate and are intended to be signature wines, with their own character, that do not want to occupy but share a space increasingly open to new challenges, and because the challenge is a characteristic of youth, the image is appealing to a market that is increasingly informed and global</p>

<p></p><p>Herdade Grande Chardonnay White Wine has a pale lemon colour, with greenish reflections. Very refined on the nose, where the grape variety gradually reveals a seductive floral side, with jasmine and honeysuckle, and a hint of brioche. On the palate, it reinforces its purity and elegance, with a certain unctuousness, well balanced by freshness. A fine, gastronomic finish.</p>

<p></p><p>Petrichor White Wine has a slight amber colour. It evokes the memory of the smell of rain falling on dry soil, of cut grass and where orange peel stands out. A gastronomic wine with good acidity and tannins from contact with the skins.</p> <p>The grapes are hand-picked early in the morning into small boxes to preserve their freshness, then cooled in a cold room before being vinified.</p>
