WINE DESCRIPTION
This red wine hails from the renowned Dão region in Portugal and is crafted by Álvaro Castro, a respected winemaker. The blend is based on the typical grape varieties of the Dão: Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, Tinta Roriz, and Jaen, sourced from 28-year-old vines at Quinta de Saes. The altitude of 500 meters and the granite-rich soil create optimal conditions for cultivating high-quality grapes, which after careful selection, are aged for 9 months in French oak barrels to allow the wine to develop its characteristic maturity and complexity.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Quinta De Saes Tinto is an elegant red wine that captivates with its depth and expression.Its deep ruby color in the glass entices with intense aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries, blackberries, and plums, complemented by subtle toasty notes of vanilla, chocolate, and spices. On the palate, it presents itself juicy with harmoniously integrated tannins and lively acidity, lending it structure. Its finish is long and harmonious.
