Susana Esteban Procura 2019

No 2018 were produced, so from the 2017, we jumped to the red 2019 Procura Tinto, a 50/50 blend of Alicante Bouschet and the classical old-vine field blend from the São Mamede Mountains (Trincadeira Preta, Aragonez, Grand Noir, Alicante Bouschet, etc.), fermented and matured separately. The wine has good ripeness and 14.5% alcohol, which is higher because of the ripeness of the Alicante Bouschet that she harvests quite ripe in order to avoid the herbal character of the grape she doesn't like. This is powerful and concentrated, with a medium to full-bodied palate and plenty of tannins. It needs time and/or powerful food. 5,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2021.
