Solar De Sá Tinto

Description

Depending on its age, the wines may show signs left by time, such as dust residue on the bottles and/or some damage to the labels—common in wines that have been stored for decades. The National Cellar stores all wines at the correct temperature and humidity, yet always preserves the visual appearance that comes with their age. We generally choose brands and regions that perform well in old‑wine tastings. However, wine is a living organism that, like all things, is exposed to time, and even inside a bottle its aromas evolve. Consequently, the National Cellar cannot be held responsible for the wine’s quality, as it is an old wine. Our recommendation is to open and let the bottle breathe first, which will help release the wine’s natural aromas after so many years closed. Avoid decanting, as it can be too aggressive for aged wines. (Illustrative image)
