Herdade Paço Do Conde 12 Litros Tinto

Description

Herdade Paço Do Conde Tinto 12 Litros is a red wine from Alentejo, Portugal, produced by Paço do Conde. The winemaking is overseen by Rui Reguinga. It is a blend of the grape varieties Aragonez, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet and Touriga Nacional. Vintage 2019. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 24–25 °C. Aged for 3 months in French oak barrels, followed by bottle ageing. The wine shows a garnet colour. Intense aroma, with notes of black cherry and wild forest aromas. On the palate, it is balanced and smooth, with a finish of good persistence. It pairs well with Iberian pork, roast lamb and sheep's milk cheeses. Serve at 16–18 °C. At 14% vol., it comes in a 12-litre bottle. To get the most from this red, open the bottle a few minutes before serving and pour it into a wide-bowled glass, which allows the aromas to breathe. For younger, more concentrated wines, a brief decanting helps soften the tannins. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place free from temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
