Bernadino Costa : HERDADE DO PESO – REVELADO 2021

In this MN’s edition, we will take a small trip to Herdade do Peso – a Sogrape property located around Vidigueira in Alentejo – through the Revelado 2021. This Revelado does the great wines of this region justice, as it contains all that is expected: soft round tannins, the warmth of red fruit and spices, on point acidity. All this making it a “dangerous” wine as it could be hard to have just one glass or even one bottle, due to its nobility and delicious complexity hiding its 14% alc.
Additionally, with an excellent price quality ratio. According to the producer and with its enologist’s mastery, Luís Cabral de Almeida: – “this Revelado 2021’s vinification process was made through selected grape plots. After maturation trials, the grapes have been harvested in their optimal point of maturation. After complete destemming and light crushing, we proceeded to its maceration and fermentation, with reassembly in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 28ºC, during 12 days.
We have obtained intense wines, elegant and expressive of the place”. The blend of grapes that originated this beautiful wine was Alicante Bouschet (64%), Touriga Nacional (16%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (20%). After malolactic fermentation, the wine remained in French oak casks, for about 12 months, and was submitted to light filtering before being bottled. Very soon
