WINE DESCRIPTION
Quinta da Pellada's Quinta de Saes Reserva Estágio Prolongado is a remarkable red wine hailing from the Dão region of Portugal. Made by a renowned winemaker, the wine is a blend of native Portuguese grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, grown in schist and granite soils. The vineyards are managed with a focus on low intervention and sustainable practices. Aged in French oak barrels for an extended period ("Estágio Prolongado" means "extended aging"), the wine showcases the perfect balance between fruit intensity, structural tannins, and complex aromatics.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
As you pour the Quinta de Saes Reserva Estágio Prolongado into the glass, you are greeted with a deep ruby hue that promises richness.The nose is an inviting amalgam of red and black fruits like cherries and blackberries, mingling with spicy notes of pepper and a touch of earthy forest floor. On the palate, the wine reveals a stunning complexity. Dark fruit flavors are perfectly complemented by hints of leather, tobacco, and cocoa. The tannins are well-structured but gracefully integrated, adding depth and character to the wine. The finish is long, with a captivating interplay of fruit, spice, and oak nuances. A wine that offers a profound yet harmonious drinking experience, embodying the terroir of Dão in every sip.
