Reviewed by: Luis Gutiérrez

The 2017 Garrafeira was clearly more elegant and cleaner than the 2011 I tasted alongside it, with similar ripeness and alcohol (14.5%) but more freshness, reflected in a lower pH. It fermented in a stone lagar, partly destemmed, with indigenous yeasts, and aged in a 4,000-litre Portuguese oak vat, following the region's strictest tradition.
It shows notes of wild berries and aromatic herbs, with nuances of nuts and spice. It's full-bodied and juicy, with abundant but finer tannins. It's ripe, at 14.5% alcohol, but keeps its freshness with a pH of 3.3.
This is the new Garrafeira vintage since 2011. 6,500 bottles were produced. It was bottled in June 2022. The price hasn't been set yet; it should be released at the end of 2025.
