Details

The Garnacha grapes for the 2021 Común red wine come from vines planted in 2016 in Tierra de Barros in Extremadura (Spain), which Luís Lopes imported to Portugal.

This authentic expression of Spanish winemaking is ideal for connoisseurs and is offered directly from the barrels of the renowned Bodega Palacio Quemado, where Luís Lopes works as a consultant.

He likes this grape variety because it can express freshness in a very warm climate. The grapes were harvested at night and fermented in raw concrete for seven days.

After malolactic fermentation, the wine was transferred to used 500-liter French oak barrels, where it aged for 24 months.

It has an explosive nose of ripe raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. It is ripe, juicy, and intoxicating at 14.5% alcohol, but balanced and fresh on the palate with a pH of 3.56 and 5.44 grams of acidity.

Unfortunately, only 1,300 bottles were produced.

Moreish is the personal project of winemaker Luis "Faísca" Lopes, who worked at Comtes Lafon in Burgundy and later at Quinta da Pellada for 10 years.
Lopes is now responsible for the wines of Domínio do Açor and also helps Antonio Madeira and Quinta das Marias in Dão, and is the winemaker at Palacio Quemado in Extremadura, Spain.
Since 2013, he has been working on his own wines in various vineyards, which, however, carry no designation of origin and must therefore be labeled with code names and other information, as he cannot state the grape varieties, etc. He produces wines from Dão, Bairrada, and Extremadura, all in small quantities. Very interesting wines.
