Quinta da Caldeirinha, Beira Interior DOP, Cabernet Sauvignon, red, organic wine, 2013, from € 19,50

Cabernet Sauvignon is originally a French grape variety (Bordeaux), which is now cultivated worldwide. Since she adapted quickly to the local climate, she produces very good wines. Obviously, she likes the region of Beira Interior very well, because the Quinta da Caldeirnha Beiro Inerior Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent organic wine that not only tastes very good, but also deserves the attribute "PUR".

Organic wine - processing, Quinta da Caldeirinha, Beira Interior DOP, Cabernet Sauvignon,  red

The vines thrive in terraced steep slopes on slate - and sandstone underground in the Douro National Park, which belongs to the wine region of Beira Interior and the subregion of Regiao de Castelo Rodrigo. The climate there is dry continental with meditterranen microclimatic influences.

The harvest is done by hand. To avoid damaging the grapes on their way to further processing, they are collected in small crates and transported for further processing to the winery. There, the berries are separated from the panicles. The fermentation of the grape juice is carried out within the whole berries. The wine then aged for twelf months in French oak barriques.

The Syrah vine is the dominant grape variety in the northern Rhône region and also produces great wines in Australia, where it is called Shiraz. But so far we did not have to travel to find a comparable organic wine from the Syrah grape. Because the Quinta da Caldeirinha Syrah from the northeast of Portugal is an excellent representative of this noble grape variety, which produces excellent wines in a climate with hot day and cool nights.
