A true testament to time and tradition, the Herdade de Coelheiros Tapada de Coelheiros Red is an iconic Portuguese wine that has graced tables since 1991. Born from the sun-drenched, granite-laden vineyards of Leonilde and Sobreira, this captivating blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Alicante Bouschet showcases the unique terroir of the Alentejo region.
The Cabernet Sauvignon, nurtured on low-fertility soils, contributes an intensity of freshness, while the Alicante Bouschet adds a luxurious, silky texture. Each grape variety is meticulously vinified separately, allowing their unique expressions to shine through. The wine then undergoes a patient 18-month slumber in French oak barrels, followed by an additional 18 months in bottle, culminating in a symphony of flavors and aromas.
The bouquet is a powerful chorus of black fruits intertwined with subtle notes of spice and tobacco. On the palate, the wine unfolds with elegance, revealing a harmonious balance between the vibrant freshness of Cabernet Sauvignon and the velvety smoothness of Alicante Bouschet. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of the wine's depth and complexity.
