Segredos de São Miguel is a fine example of a modern, smoothly tasting red wine. With the purity of a ripe, healthy harvest and plenty of expression of the native Portuguese grapes alicante bouschet, aragonez, touriga nacional and trincadeira. In the past, Portuguese red wines often tasted rough and inaccessible. The Alexandre Relvas trained in Bordeaux, however, makes a beautiful wine with the help of contemporary technical knowledge. The vineyards are located in the Alentejo, east of Lisbon. The grapes for the red Segredos are harvested at night and therefore cool, soak for 48 hours with the skin and then ferment in tanks using oak wood bars. About 10% then ripens for three months in large barrels.
