Folias de Baco - Vinhas Velhas Uivo Renegado 2022

From 80+ year old vines planted on 2 hectares of schist and granite. The more than 25 red and white varietals are hand harvested separately in September and undergo vineyard sorting. The whole clusters macerate for three days, followed by spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts lasting roughly three weeks in large granite lagars (1000L). The wine spends six months on lees with stirring once every two weeks only at the beginning of aging. Aged for six months in 2-3 year old chestnut oak (225L)(5%) and the rest in cement. Not fined or filtered.

Made from a field blend of 25 different indigenous red and white varietals blended together with very little intervention in the winery. Hailing from old vines in the Douro valley, this organic and natural wine is light, fresh and juicy with bright notes of cherry, raspberry & rose hip. This is a very unique & interesting wine!
