5 liters Herdade de São Miguel Alentejano Colheita Seleccionada Tinto 2023

	High quality Alentejo
	Smooth tannins from perfectly ripe grapes
	Great outside of meal times

Description
The red Colheita Seleccionada is made from four different grape varieties: Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Touriga Nacional. Together, they create expression and complexity in aroma and flavor.

After fermentation, half of the wine is aged for about six months in large 400-liter oak barrels. This is followed by blending with the un-oaked wine. This creates a beautiful balance between ripe fruit notes and the influence of the oak. A beautiful, modern Portuguese wine, which, thanks to its soft tannins, is also delicious to drink on its own.

Herdade de São Miguel - Alentejo
Portugal's image is rapidly changing from old-fashioned to the premier source of modern wines made from original grape varieties. The Alentejo region, in southeastern Portugal, in particular, is taking a huge leap forward with delicious and affordable wines.

Although it can be very hot in summer, the vineyards near the coast benefit from the cool ocean air. This produces fresh, exciting wines. Herdade de São Miguel in Alentejo has become a permanent fixture in our selection.

For winemaker Alexandre Relvas, optimally ripe grapes and sophisticated vinification are the prerequisites for high quality. This sets him apart from mass producers, who, due to the processing of very large volumes, have to work with less uniformly ripe grapes.

Drinking at
Delicious with grilled lamb or beef, but also after a meal.

Tasting note
A full-bodied red wine with a powerful aroma of ripe red fruit (blackberries and currants) and fine oak. The palate opens full and rounded, developing ripe, soft tannins. The finish is aromatic and lingering.
