Description
This is a rare variety, exclusive from Vidigueira, which was practically abandoned and extinguished in the late twentieth century and has a markedly regional character. Also known as “Tinta da Nossa”, it was abandoned because it was somewhat rebellious. A variety that requires attention, care and elevation. Any distraction is fatal, therefore a challenge.
At Vinea Julieta in Vidigueira, a small spot of Tinta Grossa was discovered and has allowed it to expand in the company’s vineyards. We believe in the uniqueness, exoticism and rarity of our terrois and also in the power they have to generate great wines creating moments of pleasure and sharing. That is why Paulo Laureano Vinus is, since 2006, the only producer around the world of varietal wines from Tinta Grossa. A variety of unique character that reinforces our philosophy of investing in Portuguese varieties and enriches our portfolio by its unparalleled characteristics.
With notes of forest fruit and exotic woods reminiscent of sandalwood and ebony. On the palate it is surprisingly fresh, well-balanced, fine and elegant. It shows solid tannins that also contribute to its longevity.
Temperature – 15ºC
Gastronomy – Exquisite oven dishes that require a subtle and elegant wine.
