Product details
Telmo Rodriguez is a well known producer in Spain, with experience of vinification in many different wine regions. His interest in Douro got together with our search for different solutions of vinification for different “terroirs” and will to learn. The result was Omlet a wine coming from vineyards with more than 60 years old planted higher than 500 meters and east facing, where maturation goes slower and gentler. The main varieties in these vineyards are Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz with a good amount of Sousão and Alicante de bouchet. The main idea of this wine was always to express Telmo vision over the vinification, with less extraction in order to have a wine with no edges. 2009 was a very fresh year until beginning of August, good amount of water in the soil and colder weather than we normally expect in Douro Valley was leading us for another long maturation season. But incredible high temperatures from 12 August on gave rise to a fast maturation all over the region without any berry shrivel. Harvest was done in the second in the second week of September, to try to avoid excessive sugar content in the grapes. Fermentation was done in wood vat with no stems, with a total maceration of 25 days without pump over. The wine aged 18 months both in 228 lts French oak barrels and 2000 lts old wood vats.
