Description

Alexandre Relvas has expanded the beloved Segredos family. In addition to the popular 'regular' red and white, he now also makes a luxurious, wood-matured version of the best part of the harvest. Just like the other two, this one is wonderfully smooth, unmistakably Portuguese and of excellent quality for a reasonable price!

The Tinto Reserva is, entirely according to the tradition of the region, a blend of local grapes such as aragonez (tempranillo), trincadeira, alicante bouschet and touriga nacional. To ensure that the grapes arrive in the cellar in optimal condition, Alexandre harvests them at night, when it is still cool.

Once in the cellar, a short soaking of the skins follows, which gives the wine its intense ruby red color. The Reserva then ferments in stainless steel tanks and the wine matures for another nine months in wooden barrels of French and American oak.

The latter gives this Tinto extra intensity and seductive aromas of toast and coconut on top of the sun-drenched fruity and spicy flavors. It goes perfectly with Mediterranean meat and stews or soft cheeses. In short, a Portuguese not to be missed!
