Description
This vineyard, planted in 1996, with the Touriga Nacional grape variety on granite land, has about 3.5 hectares. It owes its name to the fact that it is adjacent to the "Adega dos Novos" which, in turn, is so named because it was built by D. Antónia Adelaide Ferreira after finding out that the Adega da Barca Velha, previously built, was not large enough to house all the Quinta's production.
Taste
In the mouth it keeps the floral profile and shows surprising softness. It has an extraordinary elegance, excellent acidity, with firm but elegant tannins.
Vinification
In 2022 the grapes were trodden by foot for four hours in granite lagares. After this process, they were transferred to wooden vats, where they fermented for about 10 days. The aging took place for 15 months in used 225 liter French oak barrels.
