Product information "Curriculum Vitae 2012"
The Quinta Vale Dona Maria Curriculum Vitae is a joint project of Christiano van Zeller and Sandra Tavares (Pintas, Chocapalha, Dona Maria), perhaps the best oenologist in Portugal, on a newly acquired vineyard with the oldest vines, some of which are over 100 years old. Despite all finesse, the wine is untamed and wild, it overflows with fruit, the wood is only able to rein it in gently. Red berry aromas, black cherry and plum can be recognized, just to name a few of the aromas of the imposing curd. Very different from Dona Maria, simply big and impetuous. No wine for everyone, or for every day. Unwillingly, one is shaken in disbelief when drinking. Wow, this is where it all happens!

The grapes were harvested by hand and crushed by foot. Before fermentation, they were kept for 2 days at temperatures between 16°C and 18°C, after which they fermented in stainless steel tanks for 8 days at temperatures between 20°C and 26°C. The wine matured in French oak barrels for 22 months.
