Ribeiro

RibeiroSouson

One of the up and coming native red varieties in the Ribeiro area, currently the most popular in terms of production, with great polyphenolic potential.  Not normally found as a monovarietal but used in different quantities for developing interesting, different and distinctive wines.

The vine is not particularly vigorous; it is drought resistant and well-adapted to loose soils, with average fertility and low yield (8 – 11 Tn/Ha). The budding period is medium to late and it has a long ripening cycle, so it is most commonly planted in areas where conditions are favourable for early ripening.  Highly susceptible to oidium, average susceptibility to mildew and low to botrytis (grey mould).

Further information:

The grapes need to be more or less ripe according to the type of wine to be produced and to avoid grassy aftertastes in the long maceration periods that the variety allows.

The wines produced can reach alcohol contents of between 12.5 - 14º, with excellent total acidity of 6 - 8 g/l expressed in tartaric acid. However, its most typical feature is the high polyphenolic content that gives it excellent structure and intense colour.

The wine has a moderately intense aroma with notes that include florals and forest fruits such as blackberries and blackcurrants.

These wines develop very well and are well suited to ageing in the cask. The majority are multivarietals with varying amounts of other native varieties that give it aromatic complexity.
