Product details
The grapes were manually harvested into small containers and immediately unloaded at the Quinta dos Bons Ares vinification centre. The fermentation was performed in 100% stainless steel tanks between 25 and 28 degree temperatures, followed by two weeks of maceration. The malolactic fermentation was carried out in vats (60%) and in oak barrels (40%). The wine aged 18 months in vats and French oak barrels.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional,Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes:
Clean, bright colour, burgundy, with red tones. Very intense and seductive aroma, with plenty of fruit, dominated by well ripened strawberries and blackberries. The strong wood aromas give it complexity. On the palate, the wine starts out smooth, followed by a concentration of fruit; it has structure and a lasting after taste. It is a wine that can be enjoyed young due its concentration of fruit, or old, for the balance and complexity that can be achieved.
Store and Serve Advices:
Serve between 16°C and 18°C. Store the bottle on its side in a cool, dry and dark place.
Food Pairing:
This wine is quite gastronomic, especially to be enjoyed scrambled eggs, "boletus edulis", cheese soufflé, "ragout", or sirloins roast. Ideal with sheep cheese that is not too mature, and desserts made containing strawberries.
Allergens:
Contains sulphites.
Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
