Quinta da Bacalhôa Red Wine 1.5L

Aromas of red fruits combined with hints of wood and spices. On the palate, the red fruit flavors are intensified and combined with smooth tannins; it has a fresh, somewhat mineral, elegant and very complex finish.

Winemaking:
The grape varieties chosen for the estate, a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Merlot, benefit from natural conditions that allow for slow and balanced ripening. Primary fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature (25°C), followed by a three-week period of 'cuvaison' (post-fermentation skin maceration). After careful selection, and after numerous tastings and tests, the final blend was produced and aged for 11 months in new French oak barrels.
