Quinta Do Poco Do Lobo Cabernet Tinto

Description

Quinta do Poço do Lobo Cabernet Tinto is a red wine from Bairrada, Portugal, produced by Caves São João. It is made from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety. Vintage 1991. Quinta do Poço do Lobo – Cabernet Sauvignon 1991 Winemaking: The finest grapes grown at our Quinta do Poço do Lobo were hand-harvested and, after rigorous selection and destemming, macerated for two weeks in a lagar with a pneumatic punch-down system. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged. The wine shows a garnet red colour. It offers red berries and blackberry, a range of floral and secondary notes, coffee and smoke nuances, and subtle hints of spice. Spicy notes, present but soft tannins, and a mouth-watering acidity. The finish is long and dry, with a sweet-sour duality. It pairs well with red meats, game, and cured cheeses. Serve at 14–16 °C. Alcohol content 13% vol., presented in a 0.75 L bottle. To get the most from 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.
