Gravato Red 2006

 

Just as predicted the future for this Gravato is promissing. As well as the Gravato Red from 2004 it will certnainly be deleiting lots of people. A slight touch different from the 2004 is the wood, it was used french oak and american oak medium toast.

Without any alterations to it's original image here as well some touches were given, because it's our strong believe that we'll always have space to improve. The evolution of this wine is, at the moment , slightly above the 2004, we'll see if it's going to have the same recognishment from both critics and consumers.

During the ARRIBE awards in Spain, competing with wines from Douro, Ribera del Duero, Rioja and other Wine regions, the GRAVATO was the only wine from Beira Interior bringing "home" a medal.

Very concentrated on the colour. Intense aroma, customized, with wild fruit, smoked well measured with a mineral trace. Very well on the flavour, filled with freshness and tension without losing track of flexibility. Mineral, authentic and firm, with a fine ending, yet showing the non conformism of its youth. Quite a bet. Consumption 2009 – 2018  17.5 (out of 20) in Wine A essência do Vinho N. 32 Fevereiro 2009

     

 

     
 

Another year goes by and the stability of the Gravato Wines gets noticed. As you can observe by the critics the grade keeps the same. Have a taste and tell us what you think of it!

The list below consists of the wines selected to concur to the Wine Essences 2009 Top 10, which took place from the 5th to the 8th March at the Palácio da Bolsa at Oporto. The simple fact of being part of this list is a motive of pride, we expect that, the continuity and perseverance turns out to be awarded. The Gravato 2006 entered this contest after having his quality assured by many bloggers and critics who had tasted it and said that would be a shame not to. So, and trying not to sound repetitive, I'll say that perhaps other contests will get to know it this well one day.

It has also won the plate medal in Beira Interior June 2009 and the bronze medal in Bombarral July 2009.
