Joao Clara Reserva Tinto

Description

This João Clara Reserva, born on the Algarve’s slopes, clearly shows a meticulous approach – from vine to bottle. The hand-harvesting and transport in 18kg boxes speaks volumes about the producer’s dedication, while the 25-day, temperature-controlled fermentation, combined with ageing in French oak, delivers a lovely complexity. A true symphony of Touriga Nacional, punctuated by the dark fruit notes of Syrah and the distinctive acidity of Alicante Bouschet – ideally paired with a seafood rice dish, perhaps?
