About Invincible Tinto Nº 2

Rita Marqués and Marc Kent have known each other for more than five years. Since 2015, these winemakers and viticulturists have been working together in South Africa and Portugal, where they have come up with some super interesting projects. The most recent is Companhia de Vinhos Invencível.

To see where this new idea started, we have to rewind to 2020, right in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, when Rita and Marc moved to Casais Do Douro, in the heart of Cima Corgo. It is funny to see how, while the whole world was at a stand-still, this couple decided to cultivate old vineyards aged over 50 years old and made up of “invincible” vines, all in the northwest of Portugal. This is where they got the name for their wines from, wines that start life in schist and granite soils (with little organic matter), growing the area’s typical varieties like Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca and Rufete. All of these are used in the vinification of Invincible Tinto No. 2.

Invincible Tinto No. 2 is harvested as carefully as possible, when the grapes reach optimum ripeness and quality. Away from the vineyard, these factors are also taken care of in the winery, where only the best bunches are used. After a selection process, Invincible Tinto No. 2 is crushed and vatted, awaiting the moment when fermentation begins. Finally, Invincible Tinto No. 2 is devatted and aged for almost a year and a half in oak barrels. Long live Companhia de Vinhos Invencível!

2019

Invincible Tinto No. 2 2019 is a concentrated, deep crimson and violet coloured red. The nose reveals mainly black and red fruit. The palate is juicy and generous, with well-balanced tannins. Long finish.
