The wine region of Transmontano

Regional Wine (IGP Trás-os-Montes) of north-east Portugal, "beyond the mountains" of Marão and Alvão, vineyards along the Tua, Sabor and Tâmega valleys, sheltered continental climate. Signature Touriga Nacional: intense and structured with blackberry, black cherry, violet, liquorice and balsamic hints, firm tannins and vibrant fruit. Elegant Touriga Franca, dense Tinta Roriz and spiced Trincadeira as complements. Gouveio, Síria, Malvasia Fina and Viosinho in whites.

The word of the wine: Tanin

A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
