Wine full of tertiary aromas, such as tobacco, spices and smoked, providing complexity and structure. In the mouth it presents robustness, great volume, but very balanced, long and persistent finish.
São Bernardo Grande Reserva Red
The Douro region, in the northeast of Portugal, hosts an area of 40,000 hectares of vineyards, nestled in particularly difficult soils in steep valleys and river basins. This combination favors the longevity of the vines and allows for more concentrated sugar and color musts.
On the riverbank, in Mesão-Frio, Quinta de São Bernardo (since 1912), with a blend of passion, respect for the terroir and a love of great wines, in addition to careful selection of grapes and a careful production process, is dedicated to its art and continues to flourish with centuries-old strains that result in high quality wines in each example: elegant wines that last in the memory of those who tasted them.
Combining traditional Douro grape varieties, this wine is a revelation of the high maturity that the drink has reached, placing São Bernardo Grande Reserva among the best. This vintage was historic in Portugal and the liquid in this bottle shows this very well.
