Castello D'Alba Reserva Red Box/2 Units
Description

A very complex and intense aroma with Touriga Franca conveying wild berries and rockrose. Spices and red fruits from Tinta Roriz and very fresh and elegant floral notes of violet from Touriga Nacional. The 12 months of aging in American and French oak barrels give the wine the mature touches of a great Douro wine with a modern and international profile. On the palate it is sweet and full-bodied, with very soft and polished tannins and a long, warm finish.

Winemaking:
Hand-harvested, fully destemmed and immediately crushed, the grapes are fermented by variety and by batch, in a rigorous selection process that will yield the best blend. This traditional, Old World process reveals the art of selecting grapes by plot and the art of selecting wines for bottling. Fermentation takes place in small-capacity stainless steel tanks at temperatures around 28°C. Controlled and gentle macerations are used to obtain elegant and aromatic wines. Part of the blend matures predominantly in French oak for a period of 12 months, with a small percentage of American oak.
