This wine, from Casa Relvas/Herdade São Miguel, clearly demonstrates a rather fervent dedication to tradition. The hand-picked grapes and complete basket pressing – a touch of modernity with a charmingly anachronistic robotic element – certainly ensures a robust extraction of colour and flavour. The controlled fermentation, sitting comfortably between warm and mild temperatures, is then followed by a period of maturation in French oak, undoubtedly enhancing the vibrant notes of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Francesa. A truly memorable pairing would be with grilled beef, or perhaps a generous slab of smoked eel.
