Quinta S. Simao Aguieira Red Wine

Quinta S. Red Wine

Simao Aguieira is an authentic expression of the winemaking traditions that have made the Dão demarcated region famous.

Coming from the Quinta where the largest continuous vineyard in this region is located, this wine reflects the richness of the terroir and the diversity of the grape varieties used in its production.

The predominant grape varieties in this wine are Touriga-Nacional (55%), Jaén (20%), Alfrocheiro (15%) and Tinta-Roriz (10%), each contributing its unique characteristics to the whole.

Each of the Borges estates has its own particularities, which translates into distinct and unique wines that highlight the specificities of each region.

The winemaking and aging process is carried out with great attention to detail.

After the complete destemming of the grapes, a brief pre-fermentation maceration is carried out, followed by fermentation in a tannery for 6-8 days at a controlled temperature of 26-28°C, with relatively frequent pump-overs.

Subsequently, malolactic fermentation takes place.

Part of the wine ages in stainless steel vats, while another part undergoes an aging period in French oak barrels for 15 months.

The bottling process is carried out under special conditions, with processing in an inert atmosphere and total deoxygenation of the bottle, ensuring that the wine retains its purity and character.
