Menino António

Red Wine

This is the fourth edition of Menino António, following the 2014 vintage. A varietal Alicante Bouschet, it remains very true to the grape's aromatic profile, dense and complex, with fruit in perfect harmony with quality oak. On the palate, it is an intense and full-bodied wine, with firm yet ripe and persistent tannins. A wine with great ageing potential.

Vinification

Grapes are hand-harvested into 12kg boxes and meticulously sorted on a selection table. Fermentation took place in a lagar at controlled temperatures with multiple foot treads throughout the process. The wine was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels.
