Meia Encosta is a red wine that stands out as a notable example of the elegance that characterizes the wines of the Dão Demarcated Region in Portugal. This wine is distinguished by its meticulous winemaking and aging process, which highlights the unique qualities of the region's indigenous grapes. The winemaking begins with the complete destemming of the grapes, followed by a brief cold pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation takes place in the must for 6-8 days at a controlled temperature of 26-28 °C. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is separated from the solid residues and malolactic fermentation is carried out to soften the profile. A portion of the wine ages in stainless steel tanks, while another is stored in French and American oak barrels for 6 months, adding complexity and softness. Bottling is done with great care, preserving the wine's freshness. The grape varieties, such as Touriga Nacional, Jaén, Alfrocheiro, and Tinta Roriz, contribute to the unique character of this wine.
