Quinta Dos Aciprestes Grande Reserva Talhão 14 Tinto

Description

Quinta dos Aciprestes Grande Reserva Talhão 14 Tinto is a red wine from the Douro, Portugal, produced by Real Companhia Velha. The winemaking is overseen by Jorge Moreira. It is made from Touriga Nacional. Vintage 2017. The Grande Reserva from Quinta dos Aciprestes, a Douro estate owned by Real Companhia Velha, comes from plot number 14 and is made exclusively from Touriga Nacional. Vintage 2017, 14% ABV, with winemaking by Jorge Moreira. The grape typically brings floral aromas and dark fruit, with structure and good ageing potential. Serve with roast lamb or veal and aged cheeses, at 16–18 °C. The wine shows a garnet colour. On the nose, violet, wild berries and bergamot. On the palate, full-bodied, with firm tannins and a floral finish. It pairs well with grilled red meats, roast kid and aged cheeses. Serve at 16–18 °C. At 14% ABV, it comes 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 lets the aromas 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 variations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
