Bacalhoa Syrah 2021 (Pre-Sale)

Intro: In 2021, we selected the grapes from the Pinheiro Ramudo vineyard, harvested in the second week of September. The classic vinification of guard reds was followed by an aging for 23 months in French oak barrels. The profile of 2021, a normal year and during the maturation period with moderate temperatures and large temperature ranges day and night, allowed a perfect maturation resulting in a full-bodied and aromatically exuberant profile, with surprisingly good acidity and a structure supported by soft tannins as characteristic of the Syrah’s from the sands of Poceirão.
