Herdade da Anta de Cima Largueza 2017 Alentejo Red Wine 75cl

Anta de Cima - Sociedade Agrícola Unipessoal, Lda. | Herdade da Anta de Cima, Apartado 96 | 7400-999 Ponte de Sor | antadecima@gmail.com LARGUEZA MMXVII This wine originates in the Montargil mountains, in the Alto Alentejo region, at Herdade da Anta de Cima, owned by the Tenreiro family, in a temperate climate, with an average annual rainfall of 650mm, and on Mediterranean clay soils. At Anta de Cima, the last vineyards were uprooted in the 1950s, and as a testament, the old clay amphorae cellar still stands. In [year], the vineyard was revived, and in [year] the first Argilla wines, white and red, were produced. HARVESTING YEAR We characterize the year [year] as a rather atypical and challenging year from a production point of view. With a winter that had well below-normal rainfall, followed by a spring and summer with very hot temperatures and significant temperature spikes, resulting in quite uneven ripening and vineyards experiencing water stress. These grapes were harvested manually in the second half of August. Producer: Herdade da Anta de Cima Winemaker: Paulo Tenreiro and Nuno Mira do Ó
