The 2022 Meandro do Vale Meão was produced with grapes from their vineyards and 30% from local growers, all in all 45% Touriga Nacional, 38% Touriga Franca, 10% Tinta Roriz and dollops of Tinta Barroca and Alicante Bouschet. It vinified partly in granite lagar, partly in stainless steel and partly in oak and matured in used barriques for 14 months. The crop was not bad, and the grapes were healthy. The alcohol level kept to a moderate 13.2%, making it medium-bodied and approachable, with balance and freshness.
