{"product_id":"antonio-madeira-a-palheira-portugal","title":"Antonio Madeira - A Palheira - 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the Dão wine region of central Portugal, António Madeira's vineyard stretches across high-altitude granite slopes around the Serra da Estrela mountain range. The plots, often planted with old vines and a blend of indigenous grape varieties, benefit from a continental climate tempered by the mountain influence, with cool nights that preserve aromatic freshness. The poor, well-drained, predominantly granitic soils promote moderate yields and a strong expression of terroir, resulting in red wines that are elegant, profound, and beautifully structured.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe grapes for the A Palheira cuvée come from old vines on granite slopes, harvested by hand and sorted in the vineyard. Vinification is minimally interventionist, with spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts in tanks, to preserve the expression of the terroir. Extraction is gentle to retain finesse and freshness. Aging then takes place in tanks and\/or neutral containers, on fine lees, without pronounced oak influence, before bottling with minimal intervention, in a spirit of purity and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003efresh red berries\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eblack berries\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eviolet\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by hints of \u003cstrong\u003esweet spices\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003epepper\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003edried herbs\u003c\/strong\u003e , on a slightly \u003cstrong\u003emineral\u003c\/strong\u003e and subtly \u003cstrong\u003eoaky\u003c\/strong\u003e background.
