Meia Encosta is a red wine that stands out as a notable exponent of the elegance that characterizes the wines of the Dão Demarcated Region in Portugal.
This wine is distinguished by its meticulous winemaking and aging process, which highlights the unique qualities of the region's native grapes.
The winemaking process at Meia Encosta begins with the complete destemming of the grapes, followed by a brief pre-fermentation cold maceration.
Fermentation takes place in a tannery for 6-8 days at a controlled temperature of 26-28 °C, with frequent pump-overs to extract the desired aromas and flavors.
After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is separated from the solid remains and malolactic fermentation is induced to soften and round out the profile.
Part of the Meia Encosta wine ages in stainless steel tanks, while another part is stored in French and American oak barrels for 6 months.
This aging period adds complexity, structure and smoothness to the wine, harmoniously integrating the nuances of the wood with the fruity flavors.
Bottling is done with the utmost care, using an inert atmosphere and total deoxygenation of the bottle to preserve the freshness and integrity of the wine.
The combination of these winemaking practices results in a red wine that reflects the rich winemaking tradition of the Dão Demarcated Region.
The grape varieties used in Meia Encosta, such as Touriga Nacional, Jaén, Alfrocheiro and Tinta Roriz, give their unique character to this wine.
With its elegant expression and ability to captivate connoisseurs, Meia Encosta has become a prized choice beyond borders, conquering palates with its distinction and refinement.
