Horácio Simões Tinto

Description

This Horácio Simões Purple Moscatel is a delightfully nostalgic journey into the heart of the Setúbal Peninsula – a region where this grape variety was once on the brink of extinction. The result is a truly remarkable nectar, reflecting the meticulous care only a family estate like Casa Agrícola Horácio Simões, established in 1910, can deliver. Despite a restrained production of just 3,000 bottles, the wine bursts with complexity, showcasing ripe red fruit nuances that beautifully balance with toasted notes and a subtle spice character. The secret? A careful winemaking process featuring pre- and post-fermentation maceration, expertly enhanced with Armagnac, and a prolonged aging period in 6,000-litre oak barrels – all of which amplify its concentration and unique profile. Perfect paired with a decadent dessert, this wine should be served at a cool 18°C – a memory well worth savouring.
