A characteristic blend of Cortém, with strong tannins and unique flavours. Harvest by hand, de-stemmed and fermented for 3 to 4 weeks in 1000L wine tubs with manual press each day. When fermentation is complete it is pressed by using a traditional manual wine press. Aged in stainless steel tanks. No oak or additives were used, with very low sulphite levels.
Serve at 16-18 °C with strong cheese and meat dishes.
Founded in 2004 Vinhos Cortém is a small organic winery set in the hills and valleys a few kilometers east of Caldas da Rainha. With a long history of wine production in the region, a very special type of Atlantic-influenced wine was created. Vinhos Cortém restarted wine production and its wine style is known all over Europe. Even though the winery is small it has several different grape varieties, allowing for experiments with single-variety wine as well as classical blends.
