Casa d`Arrochella Reserva Especial Tinto 2017

Grape Varieties: This wine is dominated by the diversity of our Old Vineyards and a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão and Tinta Roriz.

Tasting Notes: Red color with hints of grenat. Intense and fresh floral aroma, in a very complex and balanced whole. In the mouth it is delicate, fresh and very persistent. Rich spicy and floral notes, fine and elegant tannins, long and persistent finish

Vinification and ageing: Manual harvest in 20kg boxes, 100% destemmed, fermentation in stainless steel vats with controlled temperature at 24/26ºC for 7 days. Malolactic in Cuba. 100% of the batch aged for 12 months in new and third-year French oak barrels.

Ageing Curve: Due to the organoleptic characteristics, a very positive bottle aging is expected over the next 10 to 15 years.

How to Serve: Decant 15 minutes before, for the wine to breathe, and serve at around 16-17ºC. This wine has not been aged, so it may have a slight natural deposit (coloring matter and salts).
