António Madeira Vinha da Serra Tinto

António Madeira Vinha da Serra Tinto is a red wine coupage of the Amarela, Jaen, Baga and Tinta Pinheira varieties produced by the António Madeira winery in the DOC Dão in Beiras, Portugal.

After the harvest, the clusters are traditionally trodden to begin alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts and in open tanks. There is very little extraction, to showcase the identity of the grapes in the purest way. The resulting wine is racked into a used French oak barrel where it undergoes malolactic fermentation the spring after harvest and ages for around 18 months. Only the minimum sulphur is used.

António Madeira is a young French winegrower with Portuguese roots who decided to return to his origins in the Serra da Estrela. Madeira searched for the best locations for vine cultivation in the Dão region, an area that because of its geographical location, offers great natural acidity and perhaps produces the most elegant and complex Portuguese wines, like this António Madeira Vinha da Serra Tinto.
