LAGO wines capture the all the freshness of the region combined with the aromatic exuberance of its grape varieties. Wines that are fruity and captivating!
The fruit used for developing this blend was grown accordingly to the Portuguese Integrated sustainable Agriculture, which follows the guidelines defined by the International Organisation for Biological and Integrated Control (IOBC). The strict following of these principals is certified by an independent entity (SATIVA) recognized by the Portuguese State.
Vineyards are located throughout the sub-region of Amarante within Vinho Verde; a brief 40 minutes from Oporto and 15 minutes from the entrance to Douro Valley. Because of this location at higher altitude, the vines enjoy a diverse microclimate and distinctive terroir. Wide swings between day and night temperatures result in longer hang time and more even ripening for the grapes.
Viticulture
The grapes were harvested manually at the perfect point of maturation, from different plots and immediately processed in the cellar.
Vinification
After destemming and gentle crushing, the grapes were sent to stainless steel vats, where alcoholic fermentation took place. During this phase, gentle macerations are carried out at a controlled temperature.
Aging
After fermentation, it aged in 225L French oak barrels for 9 months. Before bottling, the wine was slightly stabilized and filtered.
Tasting Notes
Duris Reserva has an intense ruby color with violet hues. Aromas of red fruits, with floral and spicy nuances. In the mouth, it is a balanced wine with round tannins and a long and pleasant aftertaste.
