Quinta De Pancas Special Selection Merlot Tinto

Description

This Merlot from Quinta de Pancas is the epitome of careful cultivation – a patient wine born from September 2015 grapes, undoubtedly influenced by a cool vintage. The result is a deeply expressive wine, brimming with wild berry character and a surprisingly herbaceous complexity, hinting at a long conversation within the cellar. Maturation, including a marathon-length aging in new French oak barrels and subsequent bottle aging (earning a respectable 17 points from *Revista de Vinhos*), promises a refined structure. We suggest pairing this wine with a hearty slow-roasted beef dish, where its tannins will find a wonderfully satisfying resolution.
