From a hilly part of the Alentejo, Serra de S‹o Mamede and Portalegre. Old vines averaging 80+ years old from granitic and clay soils. The wine is an interesting blend of Alicante Bouschet and Trincadeira (or Tinta Amarela in the Douro) and a field blend of different Muscat varieties, white and red (Nunes, Hamburg, Leona, Petits Grains, AlessandriaÉ ) The bunches are kept whole and the wine goes through a soft maceration with the stems for five days, then is pressed and fermented in stainless steel. Racked into an old barrel after two months, where it rested for a year. This is a perfect example of Vitors red wines: a pale and delicate ruby color, with just hints of berry fruit, and enough grip to keep you interested.
