Herdade do Cebolal - 2019 - Clarete

Crafted solely from Castelão grapes, this single-variety clarete is a testament to meticulous winemaking. Harvested in late August based on weather and grape maturity, the fruit is hand-selected and sorted before spending four days in contact with the skins in a clay press. This brief contact preserves the wine's freshness and minerality. Following fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the wine ages for nine months in stainless steel vats. The resulting clarete boasts a light color and a captivating nose of red fruits accented by a hint of smoke or toast. On the palate, it delivers a refreshingly elegant style with very fine tannins.
