Quinta da Alorna Reserva Das Pedras Tinta Miúda 2020
€ 21.50
Intense ruby red color. The fresh aroma of menthol transports us to the location of the vineyard, surrounded by eucalyptus trees. Well integrated with notes of chocolate reminiscent of the famous minty chocolate. Also evident are the black fruit compote. Intense mouth with volume but a fine, elegant profile where the acidity is remarkable and the aftertaste extremely pleasant
Food pairing
Delicious with roasted pork, duck with rice, game and cod gratin
Grapes : 100% Tinta Miúda
Tinta Miúda variety is a rare variety in Portugal and is native to the Tejo region.
Reserva das Pedras wines are born from old vines planted in the Charneca* area. With a mission to respect our history, these iconic vines are planted in soil over which the Tagus River has already passed, leaving its mark in the form of rolled pebbles, which gave rise to these wines.
In the cellar, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature. This Reserva das Pedras matures 70% in French oak barrels for 12 months. Before bottling, the wine is stabilized and filtered.
*In the south of the Tejo River, is the Charneca zone. e Charneca is a dry, flat area marked by poor, sandy soils that force the vines to struggle, and in turn produce more complex fruit. In this zone, higher temperatures compel the grapes to mature faster than in the rest of the Tejo region.
