Description

Located between two lines of water and one of cork forest, Vinha do Taco, expresses a unique profile with a perfect exposure combined with granitic soils.

Vinha do Taco is produced only in years of exceptional quality and in limited quantities. It is a good example of the extraordinary aging potential of Coelheiros wines.

TERROIR

Vinha do Taco benefits from a southwest exposure and a granitic soil with good depth. It produces grapes with intense color. A late ripener with low yields, our Petit Verdot gives origin to wines that have good natural acidity and great aging potential. 

VINIFICATION

The fermentation takes place in a stainless steel tank and the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. The wine is only released after five years of bottle aging.

AROMA AND PALATE

The nose has the characteristic Petit Verdot moss notes that are well integrated with the spices developed during barrel aging. The palate shows remarkable elegance with a vibrant acidity and a long and persistent finish.
