Tapada Do Chaves Vinhas Velhas Tinto

Descrição

Tapada do Chaves Vinhas Velhas red is produced from the Trincadeira and Grand Noir grape varieties, sourced from an old vineyard planted on the Tapada estate in 1901 and harvested by hand. It shows a concentrated ruby colour and a complex aroma, with balsamic notes, gum rockrose, earth and tobacco, interwoven with black fruit and plum, and surprising vegetal nuances. The acidity is firm and balanced, offering great structure and robust tannins. The finish is long and persistent, standing out for its high level of expression and character. It is in the surroundings of Portalegre, in the lands of Alto Alentejo, that the Tapada do Chaves wines are produced. For almost 100 years, this estate has given rise to wines of recognised quality, among the finest in Portugal. Tapada do Chaves wines preserve the warmth and softness of the Alentejo region and are associated with a strong family tradition and a history of passion and dedication to the land. Sourced from the vineyards of the estate that bears their name, with vine ages ranging from 15 to 85 years, these are wines to keep and savour at their peak later on.
