The harmonious and approachable red 2023 Manoella Tinto was produced with grapes from 43-year-old vines, four varieties (60% Touriga Nacional, 25% Touriga Franca, 10% Tinta Roriz and 5% Tinta Francisca) but still mixed in the vineyard in Quinta de Manoella on rich soils. It's a cooler place because of the forest around it, and the wine has a moderate 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.6 and 5.6 grams of acidity. It's medium-bodied and balanced, with fine tannins. It matured in well-seasoned, neutral oak barrels for 16 months.
