OUR WINES
CHINADO CURTIMENTA 2024
30 to 40 year old vines, mostly Vital, Fernão Pires and Malvasia Rei (Palomino), a little Alicante Branco and a few others in the mix. Two plots, field blends, hand picked, fermented and blended together. 12 days of maceration, 100% stainless tank. 3 266 Bottles.
CHINADO rose PETNAT 2023
100% Touriga Nacional harvested in August. Hole bunch pressed into stainless tanks where it starts fermentation. Without temperature control we carefully select the right time to bottle, aiming for the right amount of bubbles and a creamy texture.
CHINADO PALHETO 2024
Palheto 2024, a field blend hand picked from 2 different plots keeping the tradition alive of co-fermenting red and white grapes. A blend of mostly whites (Fernão Pires and Malvasia-Rei) but also a couple reds (Castelão and Touriga Nacional). Tank fermented, it’s a fruit driven, fresh, light red. 1 169 Bottles - SOLD OUT
CHINADO VE 2023
The wine we always wanted to make.
A field blend coming from our oldest plot (80+ years), once again co-fermented reds and whites, aged in barrel for a year. Fresh but intense, elegant and layered, this VE is one of a kind. Only 614 Bottles produced.
CHINADO ROSÉ 2022
100% Touriga Nacional harvested in August. Zero skin contact but we use an old basket press so pressing is slow, and therefore some SO2 is needed at reception to protect the juice from oxidation. Pressed straight to used 225 l barrels, where it ages for about six months.
CHINADO BRANCO 2023
Three plots, mostly Fernão Pires, Vital, Arinto and Alvarinho, and more – one plot is a field blend. De-stemmed, pressed to tank overnight then moved to 225 l used barrels for fermentation and ageing. No temperature control.
CHINADO TINTO 2023
100% Castelão hand picked from three plots, 30–40 years old. Also includes a pinch of Tinta Miúda, plus a few tintorera (red-fleshed) vines among others. De-stemmed, foot-trodden until fermentation starts. 40% aged in tank and 60% aged in used barrels. 3 065 Bottles.
