Monte Bluna Bluníssima 2017

Lawyer and wine enthusiast António Guerreiro has worked with enthusiastic winemaker Nuno Martins to revolutionize the Arruda dos Vinhos region. In a beautiful hillside vineyard with Jurassic limestone and clay-limestone soils with incredible potential, they achieve excellent freshness and tension in their wines. The 6 hectares of production are farmed sustainably, and the focus is on delivering the best Aragonez in the country, from an old vineyard, as well as expressions full of character from the region's native or typical grape varieties, approved by the Arruda DOC: Arinto and Vital, Tinta Miúda and Syrah.

Wine:
Aragonez 100% (same as Tinta Roriz or Tempranillo). Bluníssima is only produced in the best years, when nature allows it and art achieves it. It comes from a vineyard that is over 40 years old, located at Moinho do Céu, in Arruda dos Vinhos, and is the result of criteria and detail. It is the gift of the best grape selection in the vineyard and in the winery and of a gentle and generous maceration, fermentation and transformation, which aim for complexity, power, seduction and elegance. After transformation, it matured in used French (87%) and American (13%) oak casks for one year.
