Quinta Da Escusa Tinto

Description

This Syrah from Quinta da Escusa, hailing from the Bordadeira terroir, is a testament to sheer tenacity – and it delivers. Hand-harvested with meticulous attention to detail, selecting every grape with a clear obsession for quality. The fermentation in lagares with pre-fermentation, followed by 12 months in French oak, gives it a wonderfully robust tannin structure, perfectly balanced by the Syrah’s natural ripeness. Expect notes of wild blackberries, a hint of mint, and a touch of oak, all underpinned by impressive volume and a long, lingering finish. Seriously, it deserves a magnificent pairing with some hearty game – think venison or perhaps even boar.
