Sidónio De Sousa Reserva Tinto

Description

This Sidónio de Sousa Reserva is a fascinating, almost archaeological project – relying on ancient Baga vines nurtured with a dedication that feels wonderfully out of sync with the present day. The open-lagar fermentation, employing traditional “pisa manual,” delivers a remarkably smooth structure, a testament to respecting tradition. The tannins, already impressive, beautifully support the intensely concentrated fruit, much admired by *Grandes Escolhas*, while hinting at wild berries. Expect a luscious wine, matured in old Portuguese oak, transporting you straight to the heart of Bairrada. Wonderful with game or a hearty pulled pork stew.
