Perescuma Tinto 2019

€ 9.95

This ruby red wine has an intense fruit aroma with lots of blackberry and ripe plum, also in the mouth, silky tannins and a lingering aftertaste.

The estate and the winery are located between the must visit town of Évora (Unesco World Heritage Site) and Reguengos de Monsaraz, in the parish of Vendinha – São Vicente do Pigeiro. This location offers conditions of climate and soil for grape growing and wine production that are unequalled in the Alentejo.

Food Pairing

Delicious with lamb stew, wild boar on the spit & red meats dishes and game

Grapes: 79% Syrah, 8% Alicante Bouschet, 8% Aragonês, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine has aged six months in French and nine months in American oak barrels. Because this wine is not filtered, the wine continues to mature on the bottle and the alcohol percentage will increase

The vineyards benefit from the best possible climate, soil and sun exposure. The well aerated, clay loam soils with granite outcroppings are perfectly apt for grape growing. The Mediterranean climate yields wines that are aromatic, well-structured, complex and well-suited for bottle ageing. The 15 year old vineyards spread over 40 hectares, and comprise a combination of typical Portuguese grapes – Touriga Nacional, Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Trincadeira, Periquita and Tinta Caiada, for reds and Verdelho for whites – with some of the most famous international varieties – Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
