WINE DESCRIPTION

Beyra Tinto is a red blend from the Beira Interior region of Portugal. This region is the most mountainous region in mainland Portugal, benefitting from a range of cooler, high elevation sites. The wine is composed predominantly of Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) with a proportion of Touriga Nacional and Jaen (Mencia) sourced from dry farmed vineyards. The grapes are hand-picked before being de-stemmed, crushed and fermented in cement vats. The wines are aged for around 1 year in stainless steel vats until bottling to harmonise the flavors without imparting oak spice.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Beyra Tinto is a red wine from the Beira Interior, boasting a deep ruby color.On the nose, you can expect aromas of ripe dark berries, such as blackberries and blackcurrants, along with hints of spices and earthy notes. The palate offers a well-balanced combination of fruit concentration and tannins, with flavors of dark fruits, pepper, and a touch of violets. Whilst the wine is not overly complex, the finish is pleasant and medium in length, leaving a pleasant impression of ripe dark fruits.
