Pera Manca Tinto 2018

Pera Manca Tinto is produced in Portugal, specifically from the Alentejo region, known for its rich terroir and ideal climate for robust red wines.

This wine is typically crafted from a blend of indigenous Portuguese grape varieties, predominantly Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet, which contribute to its complexity and depth.

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo meticulous selection before fermentation. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for an extended period, which enhances its structure and imparts subtle vanilla and spice notes. The winemaking process emphasizes balance and expression of the terroir.

• Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
• Aroma: Intense bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of spice, leather, and subtle oak nuances.
