Tasting note

The nose of the 2022 A Cesteira is peachy and elegant, clean, precise, subtle and harmonious, very young but with incipient complexity. It unfurls more layers of aromas with time in the glass, herbs and moss, quite spectacular. The palate is powerful but terrifically balanced, with pungent flavors, intense and persistent. The destemmed grapes were pressed, the juice let to settle and then it was put to ferment in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. The wine was transferred to a 2,500-liter oak foudre, where the wine matured for 10 months. It has a velvety palate, fine-grained and harmonious, balanced and long, very elegant and subtle. 3,400 bottles were produced. It was bottled in August 2023.
