Vale Pradinhos Reserva 2021
Vale Pradinhos Reserva 2021 is a wine from the region of Macedo de Cavaleiros in the Trás-os-Montes region. The soils are of schist origin, with medium clay content and the presence of quartz. The climate is temperate with continental characteristics. It is a great Trás-os-Montes wine house.
Vinification: Manual harvest by variety. Total destemming, fermentation with moderate temperature control and daily pumping over. Long post-fermentation maceration. Aged in French and American oak barrels for 14 months. Wine not filtered or cold stabilised.
Producer's tasting notes: Intense red colour with slight violet reflections. The nose is intense and elegant. Red and black forest fruits stand out, well combined with slight floral and spicy notes that add complexity. On the palate, it's a full-bodied wine with fine, silky tannins well enveloped by the fruit. Persistent finish. Terroir wine.

The 2021 Reserva is a blend of 20% each Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, with 15% Tinta Amarela and the rest divided between Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet Franc. It was aged for 14 months in 30% new oak (mostly French) and comes in at 14% alcohol. Fresh and fruity, this friendly, young Reserva is a pleasure to drink because of its flavor and sunny demeanor. It’s a wine with modest concentration and less power, seemingly made to drink young, but it tastes great and manages not to be overwhelmed by the new wood, even in its youth. It shows little if any complexity, and it seems unlikely to develop into something more serious, but the price is right for a nice house pour or restaurant wine.
