100hectares 17º Tinto

Description

“This 100Hectares 17th release demonstrates that a firm hand doesn’t have to mean a lack of elegance. The grapes, carefully transported as if by express post, present a nose brimming with wild berry notes, balanced by a touch of cherry and subtly spiced with warming notes – and surprisingly, a hint of vanilla from the oak barrel. On the palate, it’s a powerfully structured wine, enveloped by well-defined tannins – clearly, the winemakers haven’t shied away from its ageing potential. It’s a wine clearly anticipating a hearty meal, pairing beautifully with game meats, for instance.”
