Herdade de São Miguel 2006 Reserva Tinto

€ 32.00

A garnet colored red wine with an exuberant and complex aroma of black fruit with hints of menthol and tobacco. Remarkably fresh and an excellent structure of tannins perfectly balanced with an elegant complex and long aftertaste.

The flagship wine of the São Miguel estate, this impresses with its dense tannins and opulent black fruits. It's fermented in open lagares and aged 18 months in wood. While its concentration and power are obvious, its elegance is surprising. Structured to age, this will be best from 2020. Score - 94. (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2017)

Critics & Awards

90/100 - Wine Enthusiast Tasted: Jan 2009

Big, bold brushstrokes characterize this full, generous wine. The color is like ink, the fruit is black, concentrated, the mix of wood and fruit tannins are slashes across the fruit. Altogether, a wine of big gestures that succeed admirably.
