Herdade do Peso Red Reserva 2020
€ 31.00
Herdade do Peso Reserva Tinto is a red wine with a deep red colour. The nose is dominated by aromas of blackcurrant, spices and tobacco leaves. The attack is delicate and reveals an explosion of red fruit. The taste is soft and well-controlled, but very expressive, with structured, integrated tannins that are very well supported by the acidity. The finish is refined and long.
Foodpairing
Excellent companion of meat dishes, from the simplest to the most elaborate
Grapes: Touriga Nacional (45%), Alicante Bouschet (45%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%)
Grapes were selected from the plot 4 of Alicante B. and from the best plots T.Nacional and C.Sauvignon, each grape variety requiring individual attention. Interventions were made during the vegetative cycle to ensure the best possible foliar conditions. After total destemming, the grapes were hand-picked prior to soft-crushing. Three days of maceration at 10ºC preceded the fermentation, in tanks at a controlled temperature of 28ºC. After malolactic fermentation, the wine - separated by grape variety - aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
The final blend was made from the best barrels and subsequently aged in the bottle at a controlled temperature of 15ºC.
