Chaminé 2006

Producer description

Vintage 2006
The winter 2005/2006 saw both abundant rainfall, ending a 3 year dry spell, as well as the first snowfall in 52 years in the Alentejo. A very cold spring which delayed budbreak, was followed by ideal weather conditions under the crucial flowering period, resulting in an even fruit set, and followed by a optimum dry and warm summer growing period. August was marred by 2 consecutive heat waves, when for a record 11 nights, temperatures remained above 25º C. Therefore Syrah, often the last variety to be harvested in our vineyards, was vintage 2006’s débutante, while selective harvesting of Aragonez went on well into October, taking advantage of the ideal late September harvest weather, and giving them more hangtime needed to reach full ripeness.
Vinification
Great fruit from local Portuguese varieties handpicked at optimum maturity. Fermented without stems at controlled temperature. This wine is filtered and bottled early to maintain clean, youthful, ripe fruit flavours.
Our Winemaker´s comments
This wine shows fresh young citric and grassy aromas, the palate has a balance of lime, pineapple and melon fruits, with a persistent finish.   (Hide info)
