Alto da Lousa Reserva Red

Region: D.O.C. Beira Interior

Sub-Region: Cova da Beira

Climate: Mediterranean with some continental influence

Soils: Non-humic lytolic, with slight granite texture

Concept: Produced in the countryside of Castelo Branco,

where the mountains meet the plains, in low fertility, deep

soils, therefore the ideal environment for the production of

high-quality grapes, vinified in a minimalist way, followed

by and ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Grape Varieties: Touriga Nacional, Rufete, Cabernet

Sauvignon e Syrah.

Vinification: Hand-picked harvest for 15kg boxes.

Reception with total destemming and smooth crushing,

followed by a long maceration. Ageing in new and used

French oak barrels for 12 months.

Tasting Notes: It has an attractive aroma, with notes of

fruit that overlap the oak ones. It shows surprising acidity,

striking structure, light astringency and delicate retronasal

aroma that gives a long and seductive finish. A wine that

tastes more than the aroma!

Serving Temperature: 16-18ºC

Pairing Suggestions: Roasted meats, grilled meats,

oven-roasted sausages, pasta with tomato sauce.
