Indício Tinto is a testament to the unique terroir and winemaking philosophy of the Douro Valley. The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards nestled in the steep slopes of the region, where they benefit from a challenging microclimate characterized by hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters. This demanding environment produces grapes with concentrated flavors and robust tannins.

The wine is crafted from a blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca. These grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to ensure they are picked at their peak of flavor. After harvest, the grapes undergo a traditional foot-treading process, which extracts color and flavor while preserving the wine's delicate character.

The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit flavors and vibrant acidity. This approach allows the wine to express the unique characteristics of the Douro terroir without being overly influenced by oak aging. The resulting wine is a deep ruby-red color with a complex and inviting aroma. On the nose, notes of dark berries, such as blackberry and plum, mingle with hints of spice, tobacco, and vanilla. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with ripe tannins and a balanced acidity. Dark fruit flavors are complemented by notes of oak and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste of dark fruit and spice.

Indício Tinto is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes. Its rich flavors and complex structure make it an excellent match for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews. The wine's acidity also makes it a good pairing with cheeses, particularly those with strong flavors. Additionally, its long finish and complex aroma make it a suitable choice for contemplative drinking and pairing with desserts like dark chocolate or fruit tarts.
