About Textura Wines Textura da Estrela Blanco

Historically, the D.O.C. Dão was in the hands of 10 cooperatives, established by Salazar, and they had a monopoly on wine production in the region. Gradually, and fortunately, all that has changed and since the 1990s the area has been divided between 120 small producers and winegrowers who now form the soul of the region. Thanks to them, this area’s wines have managed to shed the bad reputation they once had, attracting the attention of consumers for their quality and elegant productions. Textura Wine is one of these projects, where they make Textura Wines Textura da Estrela Blanco, a coupage of Encruzado, Bical and Cerceal Branco, in the Serra da Estrela.

Organic viticulture, terroir wines and wine tourism are the foundations on which this company, which owns 22 hectares of vineyards, is laid. This entire area is divided between two zones: Penalva do Castelo and Vila Nova de Tazem. The latter is where the grapes are harvested to make Textura Wines Textura da Estrela Blanco. The vineyards, which are between 25 and 60 years old, grow on granitic soils and are cultivated without herbicides or chemicals. Here the grapes ripen well in a temperate climate with dry and not-too-hot summers.

After the harvest, which takes place in the first weeks of September, the grapes arrive at the winery (where they keep to the principle of minimum intervention). The first step to make Textura Wines Textura da Estrela Blanco is a destemming and pressing to make the must. Before fermentation, this must has to be in the best condition, so it is left to rest for 48 hours at a low temperature to clear away and decant all the undesirable substances that provide herbal and unpleasant nuances. After this time, part of the Textura Wines Textura da Estrela White is aged in 2,500-litre French oak barrels; the other part is transferred to cement tanks, where it will undergo fermentation. In both containers, the wine ages for 11 months on its lees, where the corresponding batonnages are carried out (followed by 10 months in stainless steel).

At present, the D.O.C. Dão has 120 very interesting independent producers. Textura Wines is the best introduction to this essential list that every wine lover should know about.
