Quinta do Poço do Lobo Cabernet Sauvignon 1986 Red Wine

Quinta do Poço do Lobo Cabernet Sauvignon 1986 is a historic red wine from the Bairrada region, produced exclusively from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon at the Quinta do Poço do Lobo estate, part of Caves São João. The grapes were hand-harvested, destemmed, and underwent a two‑week fermentation in pneumatic lagares. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged—though the exact length isn’t specified—and now presents a mature, evolved profile typical of well-preserved aged reds.

In the glass, Quinta do Poço do Lobo Cabernet Sauvignon 1986 shows a garnet color fading toward mahogany, with aromas of red and black berries, floral notes, and secondary hints of coffee, smoke, and subtle spice. On the palate, notes of peppery spices, smooth yet present tannins, and refreshing acidity persist, leading to a long, dry finish with a nuanced interplay of sweet and sour flavors. The alcohol content is around 12% by volume, reflective of the era’s style. Ideal with red meats, game, and semi‑soft cheeses, this wine offers a nostalgic glimpse into classic Portuguese Cabernet heritage
