Tasting Notes

 

Ripe forest fruit with a touch of spices.  Complex with good structure and a long, persistent finish.

 

Winemaking

 

The grapes were manually harvested in 25 kg crates and transported to the winery, where they were destemmed.  The alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 26-27°C.  After the completion of fermentation, the wine underwent post-fermentative maceration for 5 days.  The malolactic fermentation occurred naturally in stainless steel tanks, and subsequently, the wine was transferred to barrels where it aged for 12 months.

 

Ageing:  12 Months in French Oak Barrels

 

Production:  55,00 Bottles

 

Soil:  Granite origin with high clay content, sandy texture and low fertility.

 

The 2021 Growing Season

 

The 2021 season accumulated 721mm of precipitation, ensuring that water was not a limiting factor in the development of the vegetative cycle.

 

Spring and summer were mild and dry, reducing disease pressure and extending the vegetative cycle.  The red wines exhibit vibrant aromas, with fruity notes and hints of spices.  On the palate, they are elegant with a velvety texture and well-structured tannins.

 

 

Tapada De Coelheiros

 

We work the land at nature’s pace; consciously and sustainably.

 

Our convictions ensure we use organic methods to produce our wines, nuts and olive oil. 

 

Committed to the land, and to those who work it, we generate life while adhering to the 

principles of truthfulness, authenticity and transparency.

 

Tapada de Coelheiros has existed for over 500 years.  Just the right amount of time.  No more, no less.  We use a future-driven agricultural model that regenerates today what is needed tomorrow.

 

By having different crops together, we bring out the best in biodiversity: the natural 

balance of things.

 

We respect the soil’s microbiome, which responds by becoming more resilient.  Seeing it heal and regenerate with our contribution is gratifying.

 

We never forget that we’re just the guardians of something priceless, shouldering our responsibility to be ever aware and brave.

 

The future is built step by step and hand in hand with the overwhelming force of nature.

 

We’re proudly biodynamic, organic, holistic and regenerative.

 

Words carry weight, so it would be simplistic to define ourselves with just one. 

 

We proudly declare ourselves to be biodynamic, organic, holistic and regenerative.

 

We are committed to organic farming very seriously, which means not using chemically synthesized products, while employing careful crop management methods.  It means that we do not use products of chemical synthesis and instead, we adhere to subtle cultivation practices.

 

Here, at Tapada de Coelheiros, we use natural-based products such as milk, seaweed extracts, and plant extracts to enhance the resilience of the flora, promoting its growth rather than depleting it.

 

We focus on restoring and enhancing soil fertility so that its microbial life (bacteria and fungi that compose it) can maintain their natural processes, truly acting as healers of the land.

 

We are merely facilitators of these processes.
