The Wine
TAU! Tinto 2024 is a red Vinho Verde, rooted in artisanal practices and shaped by a modern approach, produced on a small scale.
The grapes—Vinhão, Padeiro de Basto, and Touriga Nacional—come from a low-altitude vineyard located near the Cávado River, in the municipality of Barcelos.
Harvesting was carried out by hand, with grape clusters selected and placed into small crates.
Seeking a delicate extraction, the grapes were destemmed and macerated for 48 hours before being pressed in a manual vertical press.
The resulting must fermented spontaneously, exclusively with indigenous yeasts, followed by an 11-month aging period on fine lees in stainless steel tanks, preserving varietal expression and overall freshness.
The result is a balanced, direct, and food-friendly red wine that interprets red Vinho Verde in a language focused on the table and the present moment.
Tasting
TAU! Red 2024 is a wine delicate in color yet intense and concentrated in flavor. A distinct and irreverent interpretation of the rustic and the traditional.
Artworks
Rita Castro Neves and Daniel Moreira are the artists behind the 2024 edition of TAU!. Their work reflects a deep reflection on mountain culture, nature and rural life, and consequently on ecology, biopolitics, and environmental preservation.
In homage to the landscape and to the way the land is tended by the women and men of Minho, their work with TAU! looks to the art of winemaking and the art of ceramics as ancestral forms of know-how, transmitted and carefully preserved across generations, working the land so that from it — and within it — we may drink.
