Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Peixe da Estrada is a village red from Viana do Bolo at 650 to 825 meters in altitude. It was produced with a blend of red and white grapes on granite soils. It fermented with full clusters and indigenous yeasts, and 60% of the wine matured in used 500-liter French oak barrels and the rest in stainless steel for one year. This year, they used part of other grapes, some 20%, that were used for other wines they produced before, and the wine has a slightly different profile, paler and lighter, from a cooler and higher-altitude zone. They have gradually been making it narrower, with the idea to be very soft with the vinification and avoid the ripe fruit in the wine. It has a ferric nose, with notes of blood and iron, acid berries and wild herbs, with a sharp palate, precise, like laser cut, and less opulent than other years, more austere and streamlined. Superb! It truly transcends the vintage. 13,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in December 2021.
