Quinta Da Boavista Vinha Do Oratório 3 Litros Tinto

Description

Quinta da Boavista Vinha do Oratório Tinto 3 Litros is a red wine from the Douro, Portugal, produced by Quinta da Boavista. The winemaking is overseen by Rui Cunha and Jean-Claude Berrouet. It is made from a field blend of old vines. Vintage 2019. This 3-litre version of the 2019 Vinha do Oratório is a red from the Douro made from old vines, with 14.5% ABV. Bottles of this size age more slowly, so they keep well, and they are ideal for large tables. Decant it in advance and serve at around 16–18 °C with red meats and cheeses. It shows a garnet colour. On the nose, ripe black fruit, rockrose and floral notes. On the palate, full-bodied, with firm tannins and good freshness. It pairs well with red meats and cheeses. Serve at 16–18 °C. At 14.5% ABV, it comes in a 3 L 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 lets the aromas open up. For younger, more concentrated wines, a brief decanting helps soften the tannins. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place without temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the fridge to preserve the aromas.
