António Madeira ‘Os Granitos’ Tinto 2017

96 POINTS: Jamie Goode
96 POINTS: James Suckling
The first vintage from this new single vineyard wine off 100 year old vines. There are different textures and colours of granites in this vineyard making it a very special site.
The Tinto Os Granitos is a field-blend primarily composed of Baga, Jaen and Tinta Amarela from Serra de Estrela in the DOC Dão.
“Floral, sappy nose with lovely aromatics. No one grape dominates, but this is unusual in having 8% Alicante Bouschet in the blend. The palate is so fresh, bright, direct and elegant with supple raspberry and cherry fruit with some nice green hints, and even a touch of peachy richness. It’s juicy and bright with good acidity and lovely precision. The tannins are nicely resolved: this has focus and purity and a brightness to it"
