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".

Organci wine - profile

• Color: Deep-garnet coloured wine
• Nose: pronounced scents of ripe figs and dried fruits
• Palate: distinct aromas of ripe red and black berries and green pepper. with good structure, velvety tannin and persistent taste
• Serving recommendation: 16 to 18° C is the ideal temperature for this powerful and sympathetic red wine. This wine is not filtered, so that after prolonged storage a slight depot (sedimant) can be produced in the bottle. In this case we recommend to keep the bottle upright before serving and to pour it carefully into the glass or to decant it before.

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.
