Cartuxa Reserva Red 2019

Produced in the Alentejo region of Portugal, a renowned area known for its rich terroir and traditional winemaking practices.

The wine is a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties, primarily Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet.

• Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness and quality.
• Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature to preserve aromatic complexity.
• Aging is conducted in French and American oak barrels for approximately 12 months, contributing to structure and complexity.
• Bottling follows careful filtration to maintain clarity and stability.

Cartuxa Reserva Red exhibits a deep ruby color with aromas of ripe red fruits, subtle spices, and hints of vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied with smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish.
