Carlos Reynolds Tinto

Description

This magnum from Carlos Reynolds reads like a meticulously crafted operation – almost military in its approach to winemaking. The late-night harvest and careful grape selection point to a desire to minimize yield and boost concentration. Dividing the grapes between 50% French Seguin Moreau oak barrels hints at a pursuit of balance between fruit and oak influence. With Aragonez and Trincadeira providing body and structure, and Alicante Bouschet adding a vibrant colour and tannins, this wine is destined to pair beautifully with grilled beef or dishes featuring rich red sauces. A wine that demands a little respect, but one that will undoubtedly reward the effort – perhaps best enjoyed with a hearty, slow-cooked steak.
