Sabor(z)inho
-- Weingut: Saborinho (aka: Tinta Negra, Molar de Colares) is one of the traditional grape varietals of the Azores Islands that almost disappeared from our vineyards. This limited edition of 1518 bottles tests the potential of this grape. The result? A fresh red wine, with a ligth color, salty, iodine and complex, teasing the palate with something that could have only been born in the sea. With its unique terroir, the vines are planted in the rock cracks at the foothills of the volcanic mountain, so close to the ocean that the locals say you can hear “the crabs singing”. The vineyards are protected from the strong salty ocean winds by walls of rock known as “currais”. Grapes from the islands of São Miguel and Pico, hand picking, sorting table, partial destemming (30% whole bunch), spontaneous fermentation, with 30 days of skin contact. Open color, grenadine, very intense nose, lots of personality, acidic strawberry aromas, notes of earth, truffle with a breeze of iodine and sea. In the mouth attack medium body, much textured, salt, acidity always present, repeats the iodine and earth.
