Cartuxa Reserva Red 2017

Produced in the Alentejo region of Portugal, Cartuxa Reserva Red is crafted by the renowned winery Eugenio Almeida, known for its commitment to quality and tradition in Portuguese winemaking.

This wine is a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties, typically including Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet, which contribute to its rich and complex profile.

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation to preserve varietal character. The wine is aged in oak barrels, which imparts structure and subtle vanilla notes, before bottling to ensure balance and longevity.

• Aroma: Intense aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, complemented by hints of spice and vanilla from oak aging.
