Quinta do Beijo Red Reserve 2019 is a very special wine for us. Our traditional granite lagares are still used during every harvest, allowing us to preserve an age-old winemaking tradition through the art of foot treading.

Made from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), the grapes are sourced from old vines of approximately 80 years of age.

Fermentation takes place naturally in traditional granite lagares, where the grapes undergo foot treading. The wine is then aged for 12 months in a combination of new and used French oak barrels.

On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of wild berries, including strawberry and cherry, complemented by spicy notes of vanilla and a subtle, complex oak character.

On the palate, it is full-bodied, structured and complex, with rich chocolate notes and firm, well-defined tannins. The finish is long and persistent, reflecting the wine’s concentration, structure and extended oak aging.
