João Tavares de Pina - Rufia Tinto

Rufia Tinto is a medium-bodied red wine bursting with bright red fruits like cranberry, currant, and pomegranate. The grapes come from João Tavares da Pina's organic vineyards in the Dão region of Portugal. João farms 40 hectares, 13 of which are dedicated to his vines. He uses a unique field blend of Jaen, Touriga Nacional, and Rufete grapes and meticulously practices organic viticulture. His dedication extends beyond the grapes itself, with a focus on diverse ground cover plants like chamomile and lavender that naturally repel fungus and promote healthy vines. The resulting wine is a vibrant and refreshing Dão red, thanks to the interplay of bright fruit flavors, lively acidity, and the unique granite and clay soils.
