Description

The Segredos wines of Alexandre Relvas from Alentejo offer excellent quality at a competitive price. The latest addition to the series is the luxurious and seductive Grande Escolha.

Alexandre makes this beautiful red from mainly Touriga Franca, Syrah and Alicante Bouschet; three grape varieties that do particularly well in the hot, southern Portuguese climate. The grapes grow in vineyards planted on clay and schist soils. They are harvested by hand.



After the harvest, the grapes ferment in typical Portuguese lagares, or open vats. In Alexandre's modern cellar, these lagares are of course automated. This ensures that the skins are constantly immersed, which extracts more colour and structure from the skins. After fermentation, Alexandre matures the wine in oak barrels for twelve months.

The Grande Escolha has a lovely, open aroma of ripe red and black fruit, spices, a hint of vanilla and toast. It is velvety, ripe and spicy in taste with a long lasting aftertaste. A perfect red wine for grilled meat, game dishes or mature cheeses.
