mehrere Informationen

The De Krans Touriga Nacional already has a dark plum colour and exudes dense and intense aromas of dark berries, fragrant violets and cocoa, paired with hints of sweet dark cherries, white pepper and roasted oak. His mouthfeel is fleshy and juicy with a well-balanced, complex palette of cherry cigar, violet, plum and dark chocolate in the finish. The tight tannin structure, paired with its incredibly concentrated fruit, promises great storage potential and enjoyment at its best. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grape material was destemmed, crushed and immediately cooled down in open fermenters. Selected yeasts were added to initiate fermentation, after which the skin was pressed. Once the alcoholic fermentation was complete, malolactic fermentation took place. Finally, the wine matured for 12 months in French oak barrels with three and four bottles.
