Description

Morgado do Quintao Tinto 2018

Grape Varietals & Region: Blend of Castelao & Negra Mole from Algarve, Portugal. Morgado do Quintão is a restored family estate located in the Serra de Monchique, in the Algarve. Founded in the early 19th century by the 1st Count of Silves, Francisco Manuel Pereira Caldas, this estate has been in the same family since its foundation, now in the fourth generation.

Taste Profile: Fruity aromas of blackberry, cherry & hints of spice. On the palate it is light and well balanced. Fruity & simple, it has gentle tannins & a relatively short finish.

Winemaking Process: Hand-picked in small 20kg boxes, hand-crushed by foot and macerated for 5 days pre-ferment. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
