Boal
VINEYARDS AND VINIFICATION
Grapes from a small vineyard in São Vicente, North coast of the island. Grapes were pressed in a pneumatic press.
LOT
This Boal is made from grapes from a small vineyard trained on a pergola so close to the soil that people almost have to lie down in order to pick them. Ricardo Diogo was always drawn to this small vineyard because of this particular characteristic. But then he realized that it also produced beautiful grapes with acidity out of the ordinary, which is why he always harvested and kept this Boal separately, classifying it as a single vineyard as well. The exceptional way this Colheita presented itself, with an outstanding concentration paired with a fantastic acidity balancing the wine perfectly was what led him to share it with all of you. From this wine we bottled 744 units of 500ml all individually numbered.
