Colinas de Sao Lourenco Bairrada Tinto
Tasting Note
An interesting blend of Touriga Nacional, Merlot and Syrah. On the nose there are aromatic notes of blackcurrants, blackberries and cherries, complemented by subtle hints of bergamot. On the palate, this wine is smooth with soft tannins and balanced acidity, resulting in an elegant and harmonious finish with a long aftertaste.
Producer
In a nutshell: Colinas de São Lourenço is Fladgate’s flagship property in this region, located in the small village of São Lourenço do Bairro.
The terroir: Located in the heart of Bairrada’s limestone fault line. This is the perfect, dream terroir for vines. The property has 61 hectares of vineyards planted mainly to Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Arinto and Sauvignon Blanc. The entire vineyard is dry farmed and vines are planted at high density. The main focus is to produce the best possible grapes for their iconic wine: Principal Grande Reserve Red. Made from Touriga Nacional and Bordeaux varieties, the wine is vinified using gravity flow winemaking to produce a wine that will stand shoulder to shoulder with the fine red wines in the world. It is released with extended ageing. Exploiting the fabulous limestone soil and using the traditional Champagne method, as well as using the same mix of grape varieties, the estate produces some of Portugal’s best sparkling wines. These sparkling wines are branded as Colinas.
