It is considered a normal, dry year. The absence of precipitation during the entire month of March, boosted the reduced occurrence of mildew infections. However, the mild temperatures registered during spring\/summer created good conditions for the development of powdery mildew, which continued until the Painter. The rain that fell in the second half of September caused some rot during the harvest, leading to a large selection of grapes at the winery entrance. Yields were slightly above the average of previous years and in general there were high quality wines made from grapes before the rain and cooler, lower intensity wines at the end of the harvest. Pacheca Vintage 2021 is the result of the vinification in wine press of grapes from a very old vineyard plot from Quinta da Pacheca, vinified on 12th September. It is a wine of great aromatic intensity of red and black fruit, with some minty freshness. It is very structured in the mouth, with well present tannins, elegant and with a high potential for aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker \u003c\/strong\u003eMaria de Serpa Pimentel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECNICAL SHEET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/4957\/files\/FT_PACHECA_PORTO_VINTAGE_2021_EN.pdf?v=1700665605\" title=\"Download Ficha Técnica\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePORT VINTAGE 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains sulfites.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacheca Wine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51608850301268,"sku":"","price":88.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/4957\/files\/PachecaVintagePort-2021.jpg?v=1700816176","url":"https:\/\/pacheca.com\/products\/pacheca-port-vintage-2021","provider":"Pacheca Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
