100% Trincadeira.
A typical Alentejo grape variety, black Trincadeira (syn. Tinta Amarela) with a thin and fragile skin, causes it to rot if it rains and to raisin in high temperatures. This "Trincadeira" was harvested at the point possible, with a focus on its fresh fruit side. A breeze of Alentejo freshness that was lost, but in the end was always here. Trincadeira... is not so black after all!
