Foz de Arouce Vinhas Velhas de Santa Maria
Foz de Arouce Vinhas Velhas de Santa Maria
A blend of Baga and Touriga Nacional with a vine age of up to 50 years, this wine begins the fermentation process with fully destemmed bunches in stone troughs and stainless steel tanks. This is followed by malolactic fermentation in 100% new French oak barrels, where the wine will remain for 12 months.
Tasting Notes
A wine that gets better with age, Vinhas Velhas de Santa Maria is deep red in color and has aromas of jam, prunes and cherries. Complex and full bodied, this wine has subtle notes of chocolate with an acidity typical of this variety over a long and persistent finish.
Food Pairing
A good accompaniment to hunting birds (such as pheasant, quail or partridge), red meat (game or deer), grilled or roasted meat and aged, hard cheeses.
