Revela - Alfrocheiro - Tinto

Sale price€20,00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout


This red wine showcases the unique characteristics of the Alfrocheiro grape, a noble variety primarily grown in the Dão region. This grape, known for its early ripening and sensitivity to fungal diseases, requires careful viticulture to maintain its health and quality.

The Alfrocheiro vines are typically vigorous, necessitating meticulous management to control fertility and preserve the concentration of aromas and flavors. Alfrocheiro grapes develop a dark color in the vineyard, making them valuable for blends, but they truly shine in varietal wines that express their full potential. 

During production, Revela's team worked to harness the Alfrocheiro's natural attributes, which include rich color, firm but ripe tannins, and a good balance of alcohol and acidity. The resulting wine exhibits an intense garnet color with violet reflections when young, evolving to ruby red with age.
