The village red from Leda?a 2019 Salia is a blend of their Syrah planted in 1998 in the zone of Casablanca (60%), old-vine Bobal (30%) and Touriga Nacional (10%) also from their own vineyards. It fermented with 30% full clusters and indigenous yeasts and matured in 300-liter French oak barrels for 10 months. It has 13.5% alcohol and mellow acidity, but what marks the wine is a strong aroma of tempera paint, fountain pen ink, licorice and leather reminiscent of some wines from the Rh?ne. There are abundant, grainy tannins with some earthiness and a rustic touch. I'm sure some people will love this, but I don't. 15,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2020.
