5 liters of Herdade de São Miguel Alentejano Colheita Seleccionada Tinto 2021

	High quality Alentejo
	Smooth tannin from perfectly ripe grapes
	Great outside of meals

Description
The red Colheita Seleccionada is made from four different grape varieties: Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Touriga Nacional. Together they provide expression and complexity in smell and taste.

After fermentation, half of the wine matures for about six months in large oak barrels of 400 liters. This is followed by the assembly with the non-oak aged wine. This creates a beautiful balance between notes of ripe fruit and the influence of oak. A beautiful, modern Portuguese wine, which is also delicious to drink because of its soft tannins.

Herdade de São Miguel - Alentejo
The image of Portugal is rapidly changing from old-fashioned to the source for modern wines from original grape varieties. The Alentejo in particular, in the southeast of Portugal, is taking a huge leap forward with delicious and affordable wines.

Although it can be very hot in the summer, the vineyards near the coast benefit from the cool ocean air. This produces fresh, exciting wines. Herdade de São Miguel in Alentejo has now become a permanent fixture in our range.

For winemaker Alexandre Relvas, optimally ripe grapes and sophisticated vinification are the conditions for high quality. This distinguishes him from mass producers, who, by processing very large volumes, have to work with less homogeneously ripe grapes.

Drink with
Delicious with grilled lamb or beef, but also after a meal.

Tasting note
Full red wine with a powerful aroma of ripe red fruit (blackberries and berries) and fine oak. The taste is full and round and develops ripe, soft tannins. The aftertaste is aromatic and persistent.
