Vintage Ruby

Quinta do Arnozelo Vintage 2019

Ruby colour. Exuberant, rich and elegant nose, where hints of red fruit, cassis, stems and light menthol notes stand out. In the mouth it is very elegant and delicate, keeping with the profile of Burmester’s vintage wines with a firm structure, always combined with ripe fruit and excellent acidity. Long and harmonious finish.

Vinification

Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted into wine through a process of careful maceration to extract their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C), until the right degree of sweetness (baume) is achieved. At this point, grape brandy is added to create the final fortified wine. Wine of exceptional quality, made from one single harvest, bottled between 2 and 3 years after harvest. A deep-red wine, complex, full-bodied and with remarkable ageing potential.

50% Touriga Nacional, 50% Touriga Franca from more than 25 years old vines.

The vineyard is disposed along the slopes on horizontal levels and, more recently, they are planted along the lines of greatest slopes, so called “Vinha ao Alto” (vertically planted vines).
