Cartuxa Reserva Tinto

Description

Right then, let’s have a look at this Cartuxa Reserva. It’s as if it’s quite literally sprung from the monastery cellars of Santa Maria Scala Coeli – a remarkably robust wine, wouldn’t you agree? With a respectable 92 points from *Revista de Vinhos* and the backing of the Fundação Eugénio de Almeida, you can certainly expect something special. The result is an intensely flavoured red, brimming with notes of dried fruits and spice, clearly paying homage to the region's heritage. Those smooth, velvety tannins, despite their firm structure, offer a truly impressive finish. A fantastic pairing would be with a good, dark pork roast – a classic, really.
