D. Graça Reserva 2022

A red blend made from great Douro Superior grape varieties grown at an altitude of over 500 metres.

Ruby red color, loaded. The aroma is exuberant of fresh fruit and a slight note of wood, well integrated in the set. In the mouth, it surprises by the balance, remarkable structure, good freshness and delicate retro-nasal aroma that give it a graceful finish.

The winemaking approach is minimalist, using traditional granite lagares with mechanical treading. After fermentation, with about one week of skin contact, the wine was transferred to stainless steel tanks to allow solids to settle. Following malolactic fermentation, part of the wine was aged in oak barrels for approximately eight months.
