Viúva Gomes Viticultores Red 2023

Viúva Gomes Viticultores Red 2023 is a modern tribute to Colares, one of Portugal's rarest appellations, born between the Serra de Sintra and the Atlantic. The Viúva Gomes winery, founded in 1808 and now run by Diogo Baeta (5th generation), uses its historical experience to create a red wine that reflects the terroir and the people.

2023 Vintage

Moderate to hot summer, and light rain during the harvest, with little impact on quality. The result is a balanced red wine, 12.5% ABV, with marked freshness and a drinking window of 2025–2030.

Vinification

Grapes from young vines (~7 years old) from three plots in the Colares area (outside the DO, due to soils/rootstocks). Total destemming, fermentation in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and short maceration (8 days) to preserve fruit and elegance. Aging divided between stainless steel and a 1,500 L chestnut and mahogany barrel. Bottled in March 2025. Limited production: 2,700 bottles.

Tasting notes

Clean and expressive nose, with wild berries, herbs, and flowers, very attractive and fragrant. On the palate, it is smooth and balanced, with a juicy texture, fine tannins, and a fresh finish, with an Atlantic profile. A brilliant red wine for charcuterie, grilled meats, Mediterranean cuisine, and tomato-based dishes.

Grape varieties

70% Castelão, 10% Molar (Tinta Negra), 10% Tinta Miúda (Graciano), 5% Ramisco, and 5% Touriga Nacional.

The destemmed grapes fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and had a maceration time of only eight days. It matured in a 1,500-liter chestnut and mahogany cask and in stainless steel. It has a clean and expressive nose, with notes of wild berries, herbs and flowers, quite attractive and perfumed.
