Barão de Figueira BIO Tinto 2022 (Red) Organic

Region: Beira Interior DOC

Year: 2022

13% Alcohol

Grape Varieties: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Rufete

Best served at 16°C

Tasting Notes: Defined ruby color. Young aroma of fresh red fruit. Fruity, balanced with very soft tannins, very harmonious.

Winemaking: The grapes were transported to the winery and processed immediately. After full destemming and very smooth crushing, each variety was vinified separately in
stainless steel vats with a daily regimen of one manual “délestage”. Alcoholic
fermentation occurred at a controlled temperature of 28ºC. The final batch was
partially aged in French oak.

Food pairing: It goes well with roasted fish, grilled white meats, and soft cheeses.

Vineyard: Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo’s vineyards are some of the highest of Portugal,
influenced by the surrounding mountains (Marofa and Castelo Rodrigo). The
region’s climate is continental, with negative winter temperatures and very hot and
dry summers, with an average annual rainfall of 400 mm. Daily temperature
fluctuations allow to retain the grape’s primary aromas and its natural acidity.
