Vinha Contada da Velha Red Blend 2020 Portugal
Size: 750ml
Wines of pure sense of terroir that have a unique expression from the micro-terroir in our vineyard. These are wines that result from an incessant search for spontaneous micro-terroir that, if not sought after, would never express themselves. They are discoveries and artistic expressions of the art of viticulture and oenology in combination with the terroir. This is a range of unique and exclusive wines.
This wine comes from a Coutada, a private hunting ground, on Herdade da Mata in the Alentejo region of Portugal. An area that, for decades, served as a reserve and a means of preserving the existing great biodiversity. This biodiversity is reflected in this wine through its complexity and structure, as is the private character of the coutadas through the nobility and exclusivity that this wine of superior quality presents.
A Coutada is a private reserve where, for decades, the mission was to preserve and enhance the existing biodiversity. This is a complex, structured and noble wine with an international profile. A blend of the Aragonez, Trincadeira, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties, in french oak barrels.
Coutada Velha Red Blend garnet color, with bright accents. A complex nose with notes of spices, a mixture of black and red fruits, with notes of mocha and chocolate. Elegant and with a remarkable freshness, it finishes on a fine, harmonious, and complex note. Matches fatty meat and fish dishes and strong flavoured cheese.
