Quinta De Santo Amaro Tinto

Description

According to its age, the wines may bear marks left by time—such as dust on the bottles and/or damage to the labels—common in bottles that have been stored for decades. The National Cellar stores all wines at the correct temperature and humidity, yet it deliberately preserves the visual character inherent to their age. We typically choose brands or regions that perform well in old‑wine competitions. However, wine is a living organism, exposed to time, and even inside a bottle its aromas evolve. Therefore the National Cellar cannot be held responsible for the wine’s quality, given its age. We recommend opening the bottle and letting it aerate first, which helps release the natural aromas after so many years sealed. Avoid decanting, as it may be too aggressive for old wines.
