Quinta do Casal Monteiro, Reserva, Red

2023
DoTejo DOC
Reserva

Deep ruby in colour, this wine reveals expressive aromas of cassis, blackberry and ripe plum, complemented by delicate violet, vanilla and sweet spice nuances. Full-bodied and concentrated, it offers polished tannins, fresh acidity and a well-defined structure. The finish is long and balanced, with lingering fruit and seamlessly integrated oak.

Winemaking

Sourced from low-yielding Touriga Nacional and Cabernet Sauvignon vines over 35 years old, the grapes were harvested at optimal maturity. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 25°C, with carefully managed pump-overs allowing gentle extraction while retaining the fruit’s purity and varietal character. The wine matured for nine months in French oak barrels, gaining structure, aromatic depth and finesse.

Food Pairing

An excellent match for herb-crusted roast lamb, dry-aged grilled beef, slow-cooked beef cheeks or duck breast with blackberry sauce. For a vegetarian option, pair with wild-mushroom risotto finished with aged Parmesan. Mature cheeses, including Comté and Manchego, also complement the wine’s depth and structure.
