Quinta Da Oliveirinha Grande Reserva Tinto

Description

This remarkable Quinta da Oliveirinha Grande Reserva is clearly a patient soul. Having spent over 60 years maturing in the vines – primarily with Trincadeira, Touriga Franca and Vinhas Velhas, bolstered by Aragonez for body – it offers an experience far beyond a mere sip. The deep ruby colour speaks volumes about its patient maturation, while the aromas immediately transport you to a Mediterranean banquet, revealing ripe black and red fruits, balsamic nuances, and even a hint of cocoa, thanks to the influence of those ancient vines. On the palate, the wine showcases the winemaker’s skill with smooth, well-integrated tannins and a vibrant acidity, confirming the impressive 91 points awarded by Robert Parker – a testament to its remarkable longevity. It’s ideally suited for robust dishes, particularly game or Iberian ham, but will also stand up beautifully to aged goat cheeses.
