Angus Paul Mesas Red 2021

Mésa (English): an isolated flat-topped hill with steep sides, found
in landscapes with horizontal strata.

Mésa (Portuguese): a table.
Wines to be enjoyed somewhere between the table and the
mountaintop.

WINEMAKING

Handpicked and cooled overnight. Grapes were then added as
complete whole bunches into closed vessels for semi-carbonic
fermentation. A small portion (15%) was pressed directly to create
a rosé and was blended back post malolactic fermentation.
Fermentation took place over 10 days. After draining, the
remaining grapes were pressed to old wooden barrels. A
spontaneous malolactic fermentation then took place, and in
early Autumn wines were sulphured for the first time. Wines
were bottled in September 2021 after having spent 8 months in
barrel with no racking.

TASTING NOTES

Bright red fruits, sweet gum drops and mild spice from the grape
stems. The palate is pure bouncy, juiciness; light of body, fresh
and delectable. Serve chilled.
