Additional Information
The Monte da Peceguina Tinto is crimson red in colour, with aromas of dried herbs and mature dark fruit, leading into a palate of dark chocolate, ripe red berry fruit and notes of sweet vanilla oak and cinamon spice, with smooth tannins and vibrant acidity.
Serve with lamb and game dishes.
In 1998 the first 20 Ha of vines were planted at Maladinha Nova, with red varieties Aragonês, Trincadeira, Syrah and Alicante Bouschet, as well as some white grapes Arinto and Antão Vaz and Síria. This was overseen by consultant winemaker Luís Duarte. The winery was completed in 2002 and is totally geared to quality, small batch wine making, including the use of open top shallow fermenters where grapes are trodden, and using gravity for wine flow as much as possible. Their first full harvest was in 2003, and since then they have never looked back, with the Monte da Peceguina Tinto being a worthy result.
