Hello, fellow "Winers!"
On this issue of "Let's Wine About It" I'm am bringing a totally different sensation in comparison to Issue #1.
Red "Marquês de Marialva - Selected Harvest from 2018", is a Bairrada Region wine - which for me is usually a favorite.
Once again this wine is made with more than one grape variety:
- "Baga";
- "Tinta Roriz";
- "Touriga Nacional";
You will eventually understand that according to the region there is a bigger probability to have a certain type of grape.
Like a stamp grape from that region.
Being from 2018 it had already aged enough, but it aged for at least six months on french oak and a minimum of two months in bottle.
Appreciation:
- To the eye is very clear and the red is pretty intense;
- On the mouth is very structured but also very smooth and fruity with a lingering delicate aftertaste;
- On the nose you can easily catch a lot of red berries (which makes sense since "Baga" the grape's name means "Berry"), almost like jelly and some amber notes;
The alcohol level is lower than the other by 1% with a total of 13%.
Perfect for some bread and cheese plate!
Cheers!
