Santos & Seixo Santos da Casa Red 2023, Douro
A wine ruby red in color, a fruity aroma with notes of ripe red fruit, vanilla, coffee and some black chocolate. In the mouth a good structure and a balanced acidity. The finish nicely formed tannins, harmonious and fruity.
Food pairing
Delicious with all kinds of cheeses made from cow's milk, trout fillet with herbs, rice with chicken and almonds and Moroccan couscous with turmeric
Grapes: 40% Touriga Franca, 40% Touriga Nacional & 20% Sousão
Planned on a shale bottom. 2 days of cold maceration (intended to pass on the fine and fresh flavors of the fruit to the must); alcoholic fermentation at 25ºC. Ripens for 9 months in French and American oak barrels (which aims to soften the tannins and add complexity to the wine)
