2019 Quinta da Pellada Carrocel, Dao, Portugal
$158.00
Most Pellada and Saes wines are field blends, but Carrocel is produced exclusively from one small parcel that grows 5 ancient clones of Touriga Nacional. It was planted in 1950 in granite soils with lines of sand, clay, and quartz, at 500m (1,640 ft) elevation. This is a 0.5-hectare, single-parcel wine in Quinta da Pellada. All fermented in stainless steel tanks with 12 days. The aging takes place in used, 400L French oak barrels for 24 months
