Description
Ontem (yesterday in Portuguese) comes from an almost centenarian, forgotten bery small vineyard just South of the Douro border. Very high altitude with granite soils in field blend of several white and red grapes and a beautiful East exposure. Grapes are picked and stomped by hand in a small stainless steel open tank, in the traditional way and fermented with autochthonous yeast, minimal intervention for soft extraction, to foster the elegance and smoothness of the original terroir.
Tasting Notes
Juicy, tart, fresh and tense with notes of blackberry, strawberry, plum and violet. Ontem is defined by soft and moderate tannins, good amount of natural acidity and a gorgeous mouthwatering finish.
