Incógnito

The vines stand at Cortes de Cima in Vidigueira on sandy, silty limestone. Night-time hand-harvesting is followed by spontaneous fermentation with 25 % whole bunches; the must remains on the skins for two weeks with gentle extraction. The wine then matures for twelve months in used 500-litre oak casks and a further eight months in stainless steel. It shows fresh woodland berries and cherries, sweet spices, tobacco, sage, graphite and black pepper. The fruit is silky and lively, the chalky tannins fine and powdery, while the acidity carries through to a long, elegant finish. The 2023 vintage was the first produced under biodynamic vineyard practices and comprises only 3.600 0,75-litre bottles.
