Monte da Peceguina Tinto

The Monte da Peceguina Red shows a vibrant dark red color with violet hints. On the nose is markedly fruity and floral with notes of fresh red fruits and black fruits involved by the spicy and toasted notes from the barrel. On the palate it’s round and juicy with ripe and polished tannins. Long finish.

Grapes were hand picked and fermentation occurred in stainless steel lagares and vats with temperature control and traditional maceration. Aged partially for 9 months in French oak barrels.

33% Alicante Bouschet, 24% Aragonez, 19%Touriga Nacional, 18% Syrah, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.
