Wine from Ribatejo
Filter
Until 2009, Ribatejo was a wine region in Portugal. After that time it became known as the Tejo region. Ribatejo covers the same areas as the province of Ribatejo getting its name from the Tejo River. The entire area uses the Vinho Regional designation. The river was renamed in order to increase the international reputation of Ribatejo.
The DOC has retained the name Ribatejo, which removed the old problem of having the identical name applied to wines with two different classification levels. Ribatejo was hit extremely hard by the 1974 revolution. When this occurred, some winemakers didn’t do so well, while others were completely displaced.
Located between the Alentejo VRs and the Lisboa, the Tagus river dominates the region, the river is responsible for the climate of the region which makes it much more temperate and fertile than other regions in Portugal.
The vineyards in Ribatejo are planted in the fertile plains along the river in the alluvial soil. The region is also known for producing an abundance of crops. Wine making in Portugal dates back to Roman times when the winemakers in the region exported their reds and whites all over Europe. By the end of the 13th century, Ribatejo shipped almost 60,000 barrels of wine to England every year.

Charles Heidsieck Vintage Brut is made from 57% Pinot Noir, 43% Chardonnay.
A beautiful golden robe offers glints of green accentuated by a delicate, dynamic effervescence. The initial nose introduces intense toasted and smoky notes along with ripe fruit. When swirled in the glass, the nose takes on a heartier dimension with touches of apricot and vineyard peaches. The aromatic concentration, due to a heat wave of several weeks, is reminiscent of the summer sun. The attack is taut and decisive. the creamy texture, the crisp fruitiness and spiced notes of cinnamon, licorice and pepper are the hallmark of the House style.
Review:
Aged for eight years on the lees before disgorgement, the Champagne is deliciously toasty with acidity and fine dryness.

Disgorged in January of 2023, the 2013 Champagne Millésime Brut was the last vintage from the cellar master for Heidsieck prior to Cyril Brun. The 2013 Champagne Millésime Brut is a bright straw yellow color and is based on the crus of Les Mesnil, Avize, Averney, and Aÿ. It’s fresh with aromas of wet stones, fresh quince, and fresh jasmine flowers. It has a chalky and focused texture, with ripeness to balance it out, and a long, graceful finish. At this stage, it feels more forward with 57% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay. A more mineral-tinged expression, it has a lot of charm and the promise of longevity over the coming two decades. Drink 2024-2044. It will be interesting to see how the Pinot shows itself over time. 8 grams per liter dosage.
