Caminhos Cruzados

The grapes come from the Dão and are hand-picked into 15-kg crates before being sorted on a sorting table. After destemming and crushing, temperature-controlled vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, with skin contact adapted to the individual lots. Following malolactic fermentation, the Touriga Nacional and Alfrocheiro lots mature partly in French oak barrels of different ages, while the remaining wine stays in stainless steel. In the glass, it shows fresh fruit; the proportion matured in oak gives it additional body, presence and complexity without masking the elegance and softness described for the Dão. Contains added sulphites. (https://www.continente.pt/produto/caminhos-cruzados-dao-vinho-tinto-7695824.html)
