Vila Santa Reserva
Vila Santa was João Portugal Ramos' first brand and the name originates from the well known Miracle of the Roses. As the miracle took place in Estremoz, João Portugal Ramos has chosen Vila Santa (Holy Village)to name this powerful wine. The Vila Santa red blend marries Aragonês, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. After harvest, part of the yield is foot trodden in marble troughs, known as lagares, and the remainder is fermented in stainless steel tanks following a long post-fermentation maceration. The blend was aged for nine months in French oak barrels.
Tasting Notes
The Vila Santa Blend shows an intense garnet color in the glass and the aromas suggest very ripe black fruits blending beautifully with the spicy character imparted by the barrels. On the palate it is elegant and full bodied with soft tannins.
Food Pairing
This is a big, powerful and full wine best paired with rich, hearty stews, roasted and grilled meats, and aged cheeses.
