António Madeira Tinto Colheita 2021

The entry-level red 2021 Tinto has a beautiful, floral, perfumed and clean nose. I fell in love with it immediately. It's a blend of purchased grapes, and the wine was produced with exactly the same methods and care as the domaine wines. He tries to convince growers not to use any chemicals in the vineyard, but it's difficult to convince all. It's 80% new vines from the four dominant grapes in Däo (Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro Preto and Jaen) and 20% old vines with mixed varieties. It has 12.5% alcohol and a medium-bodied palate and is juicy and tasty, light and fresh, clean, precise and primary, with flavors of acid berries and a long, dry finish. This has purity and is a great value. He produced some 11,000 bottles, and it will grow up to 30,000 bottles in future years.
