Vineyard

The 2015 'Lota' is the absolute flagship of the red Curral Teles line from a legendary Douro year. The grapes from the old field blend undergo artisanal fermentation in specific concrete vats with a very long, gentle maceration period of several weeks. This results in monumental depth and an impressive tannin structure. The wine then ages for years in the coolness of the concrete tanks to slowly mature and stabilize. It is bottled completely unfiltered and, due to the absence of wood, possesses unprecedented, pure aging potential.

WIJN FICHE

Vinification

From a historic, low-lying but perfectly oriented vineyard with vines over 80 years old. The soil is a massive matrix of pure slate (schist) in which the roots are anchored meters deep. Yields are ridiculously low (only a few bunches per vine), resulting in unparalleled natural concentration. The top vintage of 2015 offered a perfect growing season, giving these old vines the opportunity to produce grapes with a fabulous balance between ripe tannins and fresh acidity.

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.
