Vineadouro Clarete - Vineadouro Boutique Wines Lda

Winemaking and Aging
Destemmed grapes, fermentation in stainless steel tanks with spontaneous yeasts, without temperature control and with a minimum dose of sulphur dioxide. Natural clarification, aging in stainless steel tanks and light filtration before bottling in October 2021.
Tasting Notes
Clarete that tastes more than it smells, with a rustic aroma and intense flavor, where the striking acidity, the body, the irreverent astringency and a sui generis aromatic flavor stand out.
Serving Recommendations and Food Pairings
Serve Clarete at 12°C. The ancients were delighted with this type of wine for lunch, with slices of ham, half-cured Terrincho cheese (a Portuguese cheese) or small fried fish like Petinga or Jaquinzinhos (a traditional Portuguese fish dish) with corn bread. It is worth trying, preferably at a picnic in Douro Valley.
