Textura is a small producer working in the high-altitude vineyards of the Dão in Portugal, where granite soils and mountain influence create fresh wines. Pretexto Tinto is their entry point into the region, sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards planted with traditional local varieties. The approach is deliberately minimal, emphasizing balance, drinkability, and a clear sense of place.
The 2021 vintage is bright and expressive, offering red cherry, wild berry, and plum layered with subtle herbal notes and a stony, mineral edge. The palate is medium-bodied and well-defined, with fresh acidity and fine, gently grippy tannins that keep the wine lively. This is an accessible Dão red that highlights elegance and precision, making it an easy choice for everyday drinking.
Varietal: Mencía, Touriga Nacional
Appellation: Dão, Portugal
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Fresh, balanced, and versatile
