Vineyard

The whole bunches from the old vineyard undergo traditional vinification inspired by Roman and Cistercian methods. The grapes are trodden by foot for three hours in a traditional stone vat (calcatorium). After the gentle pressing, spontaneous alcoholic fermentation takes place with native yeasts in underground concrete tanks. The wine then matures for eight months on its fine lees in these neutral cement vessels. A wood-free maturation is deliberately chosen to preserve the pure, unpolished expression of the grapes.

Vinification

The grapes come from a unique field blend of very old vines (Vinhas Velhas) in the Douro Superior. The soil is a pure, poor matrix of schist, forcing the roots to penetrate deep into the subsoil. The vineyards are managed entirely organically and biodynamically, with an absolute focus on biodiversity. Due to their high altitude, the vines benefit from cool nights, which is essential for preserving natural acidity in this warm continental climate. Yields are extremely low, resulting in exceptional natural concentration in the fruit.

Mateus Nicolau de Almeida

Portugal · Douro

In het noorden van Portugal slingert de Douro zich door een diep ingesneden landschap richting Atlantische Oceaan. De wijnregio bestaat uit Douro Superior, Cima Corgo en Baixo Corgo, drie subregio’s met elk een eigen klimaat en identiteit. Ooit zwom de elft, Alosa alosa, vanuit de oceaan de volledige rivier op. Dammen maakten die trektocht onmogelijk, maar de vis leeft voort in het logo van Mateus Nicolau de Almeida. Hij symboliseert zowel de onderlinge verbondenheid als de grote diversiteit van de Douro.
