Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Os Granitos comes from a small plot of old vines on five different granite soils, what he calls a 'grand cru' of the Serra da Estrela in Dão that delivers a wine full of energy, complex and elegant. It has a complex field blend, with 60% of the grapes being Tinta Amarela, Baga and Jaen and the rest Alicante-Bouschet, Tinta Pinheira, Negro Mouro, Marufo, Bastardo, Tinta Carvalha, Alfrocheiro and many others. It has 13.4% alcohol, a pH of 3.67 and 5.97 grams of acidity. Like all of the reds, it had a cold soak and a soft fermentation, an infusion with indigenous yeasts. It matured in used 225- and 500-liter oak barrels. The 2020s feel a little more closed, perhaps because of the higher concentration, and feel a little more rustic in the texture of the tannins. 880 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2022. I tasted the 2021, and the wine is clearly one step above. Something to look for next year.

Description
Antonio Madeira Dâo Os Granitos is a wine that reflects the rich winemaking tradition of the Dâo region of Portugal. Produced from several vineyards that host more than 20 indigenous varieties, this wine is mainly composed of 60% of Tinta Amarela, Baga, Jaen, and 40% of varieties such as Alicante-Bouschet, Tinta Pinheira, Negro Mouro, Marufo, Bastardo, Tinta Carvalha, Alfrocheiro, among others. These vines are planted on a wide variety of soils, with up to five different types, showing variations in colours and textures of granite in different areas of the vineyard.
Winemaking
Alcoholic fermentation is carried out naturally with indigenous yeasts by infusion. The wine is then transferred to used barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation until the following spring and is aged for 18 months. Finally, it is bottled and left to mature in the bottle for another two years.
