Ilustre Red 2021

Alentejo
Visually, it has an intense garnet ruby colour, almost opaque, with violet and bright nuances. In the aroma there is a notable aromatic richness, notes of ripe black fruit and dark chocolate, with floral notes of lavender and ripe strawberry. This entire fruit profile is integrated with subtle earthy notes. Great concentration and intensity. In the mouth, it has a great balance between evident tannins, but tamed by the clay. The concentration and breadth are remarkable, with an impressive mouth volume. It is rich and textured, finishing long and pleasant.

Product details

Winemaking:
The grapes were de-stemmed, crushed and fermented in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 26-28ºC. Concern with extraction was common, using a gentle process with light pumping over. After fermentation, the new wines remained separated by grape varieties in stainless steel. Part, around half of the batch, was aged in clay in a large pot and four small “tinajas”. The remainder remained in a stainless steel tank.

Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional,Alicante Bouschet

Food Pairing:
Given its intensity and concentration, with evident tamed tannins, it is a wine for dishes rich in protein – well-seasoned grilled meats, oven dishes and slow cooking. Also a good partner for cured cheeses and regional charcuterie – paios, chorizo, loins, ham. If we add good company and good conversation to this, we will have a great time at the table.
