Frey - L018 - Grande Tinto

Sale price€56,99

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout


Frey's L018 Grande Tinto is a testament to the Douro Valley's viticultural heritage, crafted from a blend of indigenous varieties including Touriga Nacional, Rufete, Tinta Roriz, Pinot Tinto, and Tinta Barroca. It was strictly limited to 813 bottles. 

The vineyards, steeped in tradition, are farmed meticulously, prioritizing sustainable practices and respecting the delicate balance of the ecosystem. Hand-harvested at their peak ripeness, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing, preserving the fruit's integrity. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, allowing the natural character of the grapes to shine through. The wine is then carefully transferred to French oak barrels for a period of maturation, imparting subtle nuances of complexity and refinement.

The result is a wine that embodies the essence of the Douro, offering a harmonious interplay of ripe fruit, elegant tannins, and a vibrant acidity. It is a wine that invites contemplation, revealing layers of complexity with each sip.

Frey

"Wines of altitude on granite soil."

Near the town of Lamego, where Douro starts to change and shows similarity to the neighboring Tavora-Varosa region with the terrain changing into a forested landscape, granite soils and 600 meters or more altitudes, you may find a small house and 3.5 hectares of vineyards and  that belongs to Pedro Frey, which were planted in the early 20th century. Pedro became interested in wine because he wanted a career that allowed him to travel and to spend time in nature. After some business partnership with his brother, he decided to move from Lisbon to this small house and start making his own wines under his own name. He started the journey of the "Frey '' back in 2013 with several steel tanks and used french oak barrels and made it a success.
