Cartuxa 201 Red Wine
Cartuxa Red is a wine from Fundação Eugénio de Almeida that stands out for its careful winemaking process. It is a blend of traditional grapes like Aragonez, Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet, among others, all cultivated in granitic soils. The grapes are fermented separately in stainless steel vats before the wine ages for 12 months in French oak barrels and casks. This extensive aging continues for another 18 months in the bottle in the cellars of the Cartuxa Monastery, a crucial step that contributes to its structure and quality
Cartuxa Red Wine pours an intense garnet color. Its aroma is complex and elegant, with notes of ripe red and black fruits beautifully integrated with touches of spices, tobacco, and vanilla from its time in wood. On the palate, it is a full-bodied wine with firm yet rounded tannins and a balanced acidity, leading to a long, persistent, and complex finish. This structured profile makes it an excellent pairing for dishes of red meat, game, and roasted pork, as well as rich oven dishes and semi-cured or aged cheeses.
