Description
Antonio Madeira, a Portuguese of French descent, has his family roots in the foothills of the Serra da Estrela, in the Dão sub-region. In these highlands, Antonio believes he finds the historic heart of the Dão, an area with great potential for ageing wines, where the wines are finer, fresher, more austere and mineral. Since 2010, he has been researching in this sub-region the places that our ancestors chose as the best for vine growing, those that we could call "Grand Crus of the Dão". He has discovered a series of old vines that stand out for the authenticity of their varieties, the characteristics and nuances of their granitic soils and their sun exposure. Among them is the vineyard that gives origin to its wine Antonio Madeira A Liberdade, a 50 year old vineyard rescued from abandonment after not being pruned for 3 years.
Winemaking
The viticultural practices applied in the vineyard are biodynamic. The wine is composed of 70% of 30 year old vines(Encruzado, Bical and Cerceal) and 30% of old vines (90 years old) with a final blend of approximately 20 varieties grown on the granitic soils. Vinification is natural and sulphur-free until bottling. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks.
Taste
António Madeira A Liberdade is intensely fruity with hints of undergrowth and fennel, saline and incredibly mineral. On the nose, there are notes of pure fruit, fennel, freshness and tension, being crystalline and elegant. On the palate, it has a saline flavour that invites you to repeat, with body and a tasty, long and intense finish on wet granite. It is a perfect accompaniment to fish dishes or a good creamy cheese.
