Herdade De São Miguel Reserva Tinto

Description

This São Miguel Reserva from Casa Relvas is a no-nonsense statement of intent from the Alentejo. Crafted with hand-picked grapes and a maceration that clearly enjoys a good conversation with the Aragonez, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet, and Touriga Nacional, it delivers dark fruit dancing with nuances of tobacco and mint – a vintage lauded by Robert Parker with a respectable 89 points! The aging, a careful balance of 400L barrels and a few months in smaller tonels, provides a generous body and a lingering finish, urging you to take another sip. It’s a wine steeped in the Relvas family tradition – producing six million bottles annually – and seemingly unafraid to be enjoyed in over 30 countries. Excellent paired with game or a hearty beef stew.
