Description

Quinta do Ortigão Colheita Tinto is a red wine from Bairrada, Portugal, produced by Quinta do Ortigão. The winemaking is overseen by Osvaldo Amado. Vintage 2021. A harvest from Quinta do Ortigão in Bairrada, 2021 vintage, with winemaking by Osvaldo Amado and 13% ABV. In Bairrada, red wine is typically built on the Baga grape, with firm tannins, good acidity, and red and dark fruit. It is a quintessential table wine: roast suckling pig, chanfana (slow-cooked goat or lamb stew), cured meats, and sheep's cheeses. It shows a ruby colour. On the nose, sour cherry, red fruit, and earthy notes. On the palate, lively acidity and firm tannins. It pairs well with roast suckling pig, kid goat, and cured meats. Serve at 12–14 °C. At 13% ABV, it comes in a 0.75 L bottle. To get the most out of this red, open the bottle a few minutes before serving and pour it into a wide-bowled glass, which allows the aromas to breathe. For younger, more concentrated wines, a brief decanting helps soften the tannins. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place free from temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
