Xisto Ilimitado Tinto

The grapes come from several vineyards in the Douro villages of Cotas and Ervedosa do Douro. Was the wine spontaneously fermented with 100 % whole bunches? This is not documented; what is documented is fermentation in concrete and stainless steel, followed by 14 months’ maturation in used French barriques, 2,500-litre Italian oak casks and concrete vessels. It is a traditional field blend with dark fruit, mineral schist character, fresh acidity and structured tannins. The 2023 vintage is listed internationally with 92 points from Robert Parker and 93 points from James Suckling.
