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: Maceration

Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
