Falcoaria Grande Reserva 2020 Red Wine

Falcoaria Grande Reserva Red Wine, from the Tejo DOC, is produced from a blend of centenary vines and Syrah planted in sandy “charneca” soils with an east–west orientation. The old vineyards, some over 100 years of age, provide depth and character, while the younger Syrah parcels (18 years old) contribute concentration and aromatic definition. Vinification is guided by winemakers Manuel Lobo and Joana Silva Lopes, with careful attention to structure and balance. The wine reaches 15% alcohol, reflecting both ripeness and the richness of the vintage.

In the glass, Falcoaria Grande Reserva Red Wine shows a deep ruby hue. The nose is complex and powerful, marked by ripe wild berries layered with spice notes, subtle hints of cocoa, and fine tobacco. On the palate, the attack is refined yet assertive, evolving into a wine of impressive dimension and tightly knit structure. The tannins are firm but polished, integrating seamlessly with the fresh berry fruit. The finish is elegant, long, and persistent, highlighting the wine’s exceptional balance and excellent aging potential in bottle.
