Companhia de Vinhos Invincible Field Blend Douro Red 2022

Description

A field blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca and Rufete, harvested from older, leased vineyards neighbouring Companhia de Vinhos' property in Casais de Douro, with the grapes chilled overnight before triage and destemming; this is a complex, spicy and aromatic wine, rich in dark fruit flavours and underpinned by minerality from the region's schist soils, supported by generous oak aromatics, while the palate is rich and full, with layers of texture, firm yet elegant tannins and a lengthy finish. Fermented warm using wild, indigenous yeasts, the wine underwent a short post-fermentation maceration before being racked to barrel shortly after pressing for malolactic fermentation, then aged for 18 months in French oak (30% new) before assemblage, fining with the plant based agent Vegecol and bottling with a coarse filtration.

Companhia de Vinhos Invencivel

In 2020 Boekenhoutskloof ’s Marc, alongside Rita Marques, founded Companhia de Vinhos Invencível, acquiring an estate in the Douro and bringing traditional Portuguese grape varieties to the fore. They produce wines with vigor, passion and precision. The labels for the wine represent the fight between Adamastor, a mythical character symbolising the dangers of the sea, and the Portuguese sailors of the Age of Discovery.

Douro Valley

The Douro Valley, located in northern Portugal, is a historic and renowned wine region known for its exceptional Port and table wines. Recognised as one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world, it was officially regulated in 1756. The valley's dramatic landscape, characterised by steep terraced vineyards along the Douro River, creates a unique terroir that is ideal for viticulture.
The area is particularly famous for its Port wines, which range from rich and robust Vintage Ports to smooth and sweet Tawny Ports, crafted from indigenous grapes like Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz. It also produces high-quality red and white table wines, with rich, full-bodied reds and aromatic whites from local varieties such as Touriga Franca and Viosinho. The combination of historical winemaking traditions and modern practices makes the Douro Valley a compelling and storied wine region.
