The grape Alfrocheiro Preto is a grape with misty origins, and It is thought to be relative of Pinot Noir. Today, the birthplace is assumed to be Portugal, and the wines from this grape are noted for their deep velvety texture, intense spiciness and approachability when young. The Alfrocheiro Preto grows well in the Mediterranean style climate of the Dão in north central Portugal. The grape has been helped dramatically by Portugal’s inclusion into the EU in 1986. Instead of grapes going to the large co-ops for processing they are now sold to private companies which make wines with more distinction and sense of place. |
