Vinha das Penicas Red 2019

Vinha das Penicas Red 2019 was born in Terras de Sicó in Beira Atlântico, by the hands of Alberto Almeida. It's a wine from very old vines, where elegance and freshness stand out. It's a tense, complex and elegant wine, full of individuality and character. It is the result of the second manual harvest carried out in the old vines, where they found the red grape varieties baga, bastardo, rufete and grand noir, among others. Goes well with red meats, game dishes and cheeses.
