Quinta Nova Unoaked Colheita 2021

€ 15.00

It is a unique and wood free blend of the main grape varieties of Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo. It's a wine of authentic and intense flavor that demonstrates not needing a barrel to be sophisticated. However, it is not the only sense palate in a large glass of wine that interests us, it is also its ruby color and its youthful aroma, lush and mineral, a magnificent balance between the fruit, the dense structure and the alcohol. The texture is so juicy and easy drinking that you imagine yourself in the vineyard itself.

In Portugal, this wine is always one of the best samples of wine without wood, a promise that can be enjoyed early or keep in the cellar and develop

for five to seven years more
