Menin Maria Fernanda Magnum Tinto

Description

Menin Maria Fernanda Tinto Magnum is a red wine from the Douro, Portugal, produced by Menin Wine Company. It is made from a field blend of old vines. Vintage 2021. Menin Maria Fernanda Every bottle of "Maria Fernanda" holds not just a wine, but a journey. It is the result of a unique alchemy, where the nobility of the Douro's terraced hillsides meets the courage of the hands that have shaped the land over the centuries. Each harvest is a masterpiece, a distinct chapter in this winemaking narrative "without beginning or end." It shows an intense ruby colour. On the nose, ripe dark fruit, rosemary-like scrub (esteva), and floral notes. On the palate, full-bodied, with firm tannins and good freshness. It pairs well with grilled red meats, roast kid, and aged cheeses. Serve at 16–18 °C. With 14% ABV, it comes in a 1.5 L magnum 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 it and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve its aromas.
