Quinta Do Gradil Maria Do Carmo Tinto

Description

This Quinta do Gradil wine is a bold statement – driven primarily by the Alicante Bouschet, which delivers a distinctive character. Following a surprisingly long 48-hour maceration, fermentation pushes boundaries, and a twelve-month aging in a selection of French oak barrels adds welcome complexity. The impressive 18.5 points awarded by Grandes Escolhas certainly validate its fresh, Atlantic-influenced fruit and lively acidity, suggesting it’s a wine with ageing potential. It’s a fantastic match for grilled fish or a hearty beef roast.
