Cartuxa Reserva 2015

Cartuxa Reserva 2015

A classic from Portugal, we don’t drink it so often but it is a wine that always surprises (it shouldn’t by now) for the quality and consistency.
With Alicante Bouschet and Trincadeira from the oldest vines of the Eugenio de Almeida Foundation, it matured in new French barrels for 15 months, and in 15 months in bottle prior to release in the market. This one has already some years in bottle and it will last many more!
It needs some time after opening but honestly immediately after opening it shows already a beautiful aroma then it’s an elegant and smooth wine with a bold body and nice round tannins with a long finish, in this wine with these grapes you can see the profile of a typical Alentejo wine.
