Lagoalva Barrel Selection - Red Wine

Lagoalva Barrel Selection - Red Wine is a wine from the Tejo region produced by Quinta da Lagoalva from the Syrah and Touriga Nacional grape varieties. This blend results from careful winemaking, with the grape varieties worked separately before the final blending. The grapes are harvested mechanically at night and, after about three days of pre-fermentation maceration, alcoholic fermentation takes place at 24ºC in open stainless steel vats. This is followed by hydraulic pressing of the musts and malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, where the wine ages for 12 months.

In the glass, it reveals an intense garnet red color. The aromatic profile highlights notes of ripe black fruits, spices, and vanilla, in a complex and captivating combination. On the palate, it shows volume, elegant tannins, and a long finish, characteristics that give it structure and balance. Served at around 16ºC, it pairs particularly well with meats, game dishes, oven roasts, and aged cheeses.
