Big Red Reserve Montes de Lá
ALENTEJO

Description

Big Red Reserve Montes de Lá expresses at its best the characteristics of Alto Alentejo, an area covered by the microclimate of the Serra de S. Mamede.

Cépage: Alicante Bousche, Aragonez and Trincadeira
Production Method: The harvest is done manually into 25kg plastic boxes. The bunches are completely destemmed and then fermented in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature for approximately 10 days. After malolactic fermentation, aging takes place in new French and American oak barrels for 18 months, followed by 1 year in bottle.
Tasting Note: With a garnet color, it has aromas of fruit with a mixture of spices and vanilla. In the mouth it is smooth, with balanced acidity, round and firm tannins, allowing a long and persistent finish.
Enologist: David Patrício
