Old-vine field blend of over twenty varieties. This first Infantado colheita, or vintage tawny, comes from exclusively Class A parcels (Vale de Moinhos and Castelos) totaling 3.5 hectares on poor schist soils. The fruit is hand-harvested, partly destemmed and fermented exclusively in lagar; fermentation is stopped with 77-degree wine brandy. The wine was aged for 10 years in a combination of very old tonel or balseiro (tall wooden tanks from 3,000-60,000 liters with thick staves that slow down oxidation) and the classic Port pipa (550-liter horizontal casks with thinner staves that promote oxidation).

Red Blend – Tinta Roriz/Touriga Nacional./ ABV 14%

Description

Quinta do Infantado was founded in 1816 in the Cima Corgo sub-region of the Douro–considered its finest zone for both Port and dry wines–by the Portuguese crown heir D. Pedro IV, hence the name of the estate: “Infante” is Portuguese for “prince”. The Roseira family has owned it since the end of the nineteenth century. Today, Infantado is run by third generation João Roseira (winemaker and vineyard manager) and other family members, who oversee family holdings of about forty-six hectares of vines. Quite interestingly, Infantado evolved over the last fifty years into the best kind of outlier and innovator in a wine region ruled for centuries by large-scale production and full-blown commerce.
