Pretexto
Pretexto Rosé is made 100% from the Jaen variety, sourced from 20-year-old vines located in Vila Nova de Tazém, a sub-region of the Serra da Estrela.
The year 2022 was characterized by a general drought, with rainfall below the average compared to previous years. The winter was warmer than usual and quite dry. It rained in early spring, and bud break started in the first week of April. Disease pressure on the vines was, therefore, quite low. The ripening of the grapes was slow due to the lack of water in the soil, which resulted in some desiccated berries. The 2022 vintage produced wines with more body and, in the case of reds, a higher presence of tannins. In some cases, to ensure good yields with good acidity and aromas and to avoid desiccation, the harvest was brought forward.
