Vinha de Santa Maria Reserva 2018 Red Wine

5/ 5

<p></p><p>Quinta da Alameda Torreão Red Wine is made from Alfrocheiro and Touriga Nacional grape varieties, this red reflects the Dão region. The region's expressiveness can be found in the aromas of forest, wet earth transmitted by Alfrocheiro and red fruit by the Touriga Nacional. Elegance and character come through in the mouth, not too extracted and very well balanced.</p> <p> The Alfrocheiro variety's characteristic light colour gives it  a floral nose, reminiscent of the woods and the humidity of  autumn, while the Touriga intensifies the red fruit and  bergamot, giving it a pleasant intense aroma. The wood on  the nose is subtle, conveying soft notes of dried fruit. The  palate is elegant with well-present but delicate tannins softened by the barrel, the acidity confers freshness and elegance, remaining intense in the mouth and showing great  longevity.</p>

<p>Casa da Passarella O Fugitivo Baga shows a open colour. On the nose, it typically offers aromas of red fruits, often accompanied by vegetal notes and sometimes hints of licorice or cherry. On the palate, Baga wines are generally characterized by their high acidity and firm, well-structured tannins, leading to a long, persistent finish. Some Baga wines, especially those from Dão, can also show notes of pine or earthiness. Given its structure and acidity, "O Fugitivo Baga" is an excellent wine for food pairing. It harmonizes beautifully with rich, fatty dishes, such as roasted pork loin, roast suckling pig, or game meats. It's also a great match for cured meats, sausages, and aged cheeses, as the wine's acidity and tannins can cut through the richness of these foods.</p>

<p></p><p>Quinta da Perdonda Branco da Estrela Wine is the result of a combination of various grape varieties, such as Barcelo, Bical, Dona Branca and Uva Cão, among others, which give it complexity and originality. Aromatically, it starts with an attractive reduction, with notes of gunpowder and chalk, followed by tangerine and a fresh, subtle floral touch. In the mouth, the freshness is striking, with excellent acidity that stands out, providing a mineral sensation that adds depth to the profile. The wine reveals an elegant dryness and a serious, austere character that gives it great personality. A wine that conveys its identity in an imposing way, ideal for those who appreciate wines with a touch of complexity and structure.</p>
