2023 Herdade do Sobroso AnAs Tinto

Winery Herdade do Sobroso and the Alentejo region

Herdade do Sobroso is located in the heart of the Alentejo, in the Vidigueira sub-region, one of the oldest wine regions in Portugal. The estate combines viticulture with nature conservation and game management, spread over more than 1600 hectares. Since 2002, the winery has been run by Filipe Teixeira Pinto and his wife Sofia, who produce characterful wines with modern techniques and respect for the terroir. The region is characterized by a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, which ensures ripe and concentrated grapes.

Origin and grapes of the AnAs Tinto 2023

The AnAs Tinto 2023 is a Vinho Regional Alentejano and is composed of Alicante Bouschet, Syrah and Aragonez (the Portuguese variant of Tempranillo). These grape varieties are perfectly suited to the warm climate of the Alentejo. The soil consists of a mixture of loam and clay, which contributes to the complexity and structure of the wine. The grapes are harvested by hand to ensure optimum quality.

Vinification and maturation of this Portuguese red wine

After manual harvesting, the grapes are transported to the cellar, where fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. This is followed by a post-fermentative maceration of no less than 21 days, which gives the wine extra depth and aromatic richness. There is no wood aging, which means the emphasis is on the pure fruit and the terroir.

Color, smell and taste of the Herdade do Sobroso AnAs Tinto

This AnAs Tinto shows itself in the glass with a deep ruby red color. The nose is intense and fruity, with aromas of dark forest fruits such as blackberries and plums, complemented by a hint of herbs. In the mouth the wine is full and lively, with a firm structure, vibrant acids and a beautiful balance. The aftertaste is energetic with beautiful freshness. This is an absolute friend to everyone and we like to drink this wine slightly chilled (around 12 degrees).
