2022 Kelman, Encruzado Barrel Fermented White 6 x 0.75L
6 Bottles
Dão Region

DESCRIPTION
The Kelman Family Vineyard is located in Nelas, in the heart of the Dão region. It is in the city square that the Dão wine festival happens in September of each year. Nelas also hosts a Centre of Viniculture Studies of the Dão, famous for the longevity of its wines.
The vineyard has 6 hectares that were planted in year 2000 with traditional grape varieties of which Touriga Nacional accounts for about 50%. More recently 1,5 hectares of old vines were incorporated to the Estate. The mean altitude is 430 meters. Gentle slope and sandy soil (decomposed granite) provide a good drainage. Rainfall is 900 mm/year, concentrated in the winter. Temperature ranges from freezing point in winter to 30 Celsius or more during summertime. The diurnal temperature amplitude is high (days may be warm, but nights are always cool). This provides ideal conditions for a gradual ripening of the grape, and the freshness of the wines.
Our orientation has always been to respect the character of Dão and embrace its long tradition of producing some of the best nectars in Portugal from local varieties, such as Touriga Nacional and Encruzado. Our inspiration is to take these Portuguese jewels to the whole world. We combine intelligent ancestral practices, which even today bring quality to wines, with modern oenological knowledge. The result is authentic, high quality, elegant and gastronomic wines.

WINEMAKER: António Narciso.

WINE VARIETIES: Encruzado (100%).

VINIFICATION
The harvest is done by hand and the grapes are transported to the winery in small boxes. After stemming, crushing and pressing, decantation follows in a cold stainless steel tank. The completely cleaned must is then transferred to other stainless steel tanks where fermentation begins at a controlled temperature of around 15ºC and is then transferred to new French oak barrels with light toast, where fermentation continues until the end. The wine is kept in barrels always with batonnage for a minimum period of 1 year. Before bottling, it is racked and has only natural stabilization and light filtration in order to maintain all of its aromatic potential and structure. Does not contain products of animal origin. Aging for 12 months in new French oak barrels.

TASTING NOTES
Wine with floral and white fruit notes, together with ripe fruit and sweet toasted aromas of some honey and nuts. Some notes of tea, citrus and minerals. In the mouth it is intense, with volume, structure and persistent finish. It highlights the unctuousness and volume with very present acidity and minerality.

SERVING
It goes well with oven-roasted fatty fish, roast lamb, and soft cheeses. Store in a horizontal position, in a cool and dry place, protected from light and temperature fluctuations. Serve at a temperature between 10ºC and 12ºC. Consume in moderation.
