Herdade do Escrivão Biodynamic Red Wine 2020

Some wines hold the memory of a landscape. This red from Herdade do Escrivão is one of them. Produced in Beira Interior following the principles of biodynamic farming, it expresses the character of the Beira land in every sip, with the authenticity of those who treat the vineyard as part of a living ecosystem.

An Estate with Deep Roots in Beira Interior

With 80 hectares near the Beira border, Herdade do Escrivão has over 20 years of organic farming practice and, since 2019, Demeter biodynamic certification. The vineyard, with 4.5 hectares planted on sandy schist soils, benefits from excellent sun exposure and a history of excellent plant health. The estate also produces vegetables, cereals and pastures, and is home to a herd of Charnequeira goats, integrating the vineyard into a living, self-sufficient system. The team is led by viticulturist Miguel Valente and winemaker João Salavessa.

Traditional Portuguese Varieties, Pure Terroir Expression

The blend is made up of Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira and Tinta Roriz, three varieties that characterise Beira Interior's red wines and that find here a carefully tended growing environment. Ageing in stainless steel preserves the fruit's freshness and varietal identity, without interference from wood.

What You'll Find in the Glass

An intense garnet colour. On the nose, ripe red fruit stands out, with cherries and plums up front and wild blackberry notes adding depth. On the palate, velvety tannins give it structure without weight, the balance is remarkable and the finish is long and pleasant. A wine that invites a second glass.
