Tonel 3-4 2013

Mouchão is a renowned estate located in the Alentejo region of Portugal, known for producing high-quality wines with a strong sense of terroir.

TONEL 3-4 is a red wine blend typically composed of traditional Portuguese grape varieties, including Alicante Bouschet, Trincadeira, and Aragonez, which are characteristic of the Alentejo region.

The wine is crafted using traditional winemaking techniques combined with modern precision. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The name "TONEL 3-4" refers to the specific oak barrels used for aging, which impart complexity and structure. Aging typically occurs in French and American oak barrels for several months to enhance flavor and tannin integration.

• Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
• Aroma: Intense and complex bouquet featuring ripe red and black fruits, subtle spice, and hints of vanilla and toasted oak.
• Palate: Full-bodied with rich fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and smooth, well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and persistent with a touch of minerality.

TONEL 3-4 pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, enhancing the dining experience:

• Grilled red meats such as beef or lamb
• Hearty stews and casseroles
• Mature cheeses like Manchego or aged cheddar
• Roasted game birds
• Rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces
