Horta Osório Reserva Tinto

Description

This Horta Osório Reserva certainly feels like it’s been given a meticulous touch – and it’s fair to say it’s earned it. The grapes, harvested in 18kg boxes, appear to have been handled with a delicate care, avoiding premature crushing. Following a rigorous selection process, fermentation, aided by careful racking and draining, truly captures the complexity of the Vinhas Velhas vines and the surrounding terroir. The result is a structured wine with remarkable freshness, a characteristic that belies its extended ageing in oak barrels – a fantastic accompaniment to a perfectly grilled steak, I’d suggest.
