PORTUGAL GRAPES JOSÉ JOAQUIM MORAIS ROCHA, THE ESTATE’S FOUNDER Here, the wines are matured in tanks and wood. Those made from Touriga Franca are very deeply coloured and offer up delicate, intense aromas of wild flowers, violet, red fruits and dried spices, yielding powerful but elegant pours. ARAGONEZ, THE WELL-SUITED NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOUR MORAIS ROCHA COMBINES ARTISANAL SKILLS WITH CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY Aragonez is none other than the star variety of Rioja and Ribera del Duero, Tempranillo, under its Portuguese name. It is also known as Tinta Roriz in the Douro Valley. In Alentejo, located near Lisbon, it is one of the ten most widely grown grape varieties. “Aragonez is a grape variety that adjusts well to different soil types and climates, but to produce outstanding quality, sandy and clay-limestone soils in hot, dry climates need to be favoured. This leads to smaller, more concentrated berries”, explains Nelson Rolo, the head winemaker at bodega Morais Rocha, which has 18 hectares of vines in Vidigueira, approximately 200 km from the capital in the southern part of the country. For the Alentejo winery, this red variety plays a pivotal role because it is used to make sparkling and rosé wines, and of course Reserva reds. For the reds, the fruit is picked by machine at night in order to preserve freshness, whereas for the other styles, the grapes are picked by hand. Aragonez is an early-ripening variety and therefore one of the first to be harvested, explains Rolo. “Emphasis is placed on acidity and the right pH level” As soon as the fruit arrives in the winery, it undergoes cold (7°C) pre-fermentation soaking to promote aromatic intensity in the must. Aragonez is used in blends with other grape varieties that complement each other. “I particularly like the combination of Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet”, admits the winemaker. Wines from Aragonez are very elegant and dense with substantial structure on the palate. They reveal notes of blackberries, plums and black fruits along with a faint spicy, cinnamon-dominant touch. They are very popular and boast great ageability, selling both domestically and internationally. 90 WINTER 2022 • GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE <strong>FR</strong>ENCH EXPERTS ON WINE
