Terras de Tavares, 2002

Just add a little sulphur dioxide after colo stabilization befor racking the wine to old oak barrels of 600 liters and where they aged 2 years and then again a little before bottling Arround our vineyards we have clay shale and granit whic provide the acidity and minerality of the soils; this clay shale is very old from marine sediments of 500 million years ago and granit is from the compressions during hercynian orogeny (mountain building event), 300 million years ago... This rocks don't irradiate much heat during the night. Our climate is continental, with great thermal amplitude, and not very constant, so each vintage is different.
