Cartuxa Foral de Evora 2018 Tinto

€ 15.50

The winemaking tradition in the Évora region goes back to time immemorial. The charter that D. Manuel I granted to the city in 1501 bears witness to this. Adega Cartuxa combines the taste of history with the unique art of this wine, in an evocative edition of the Foral. This wine is made from the varieties Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez, aged in new French oak barrels. Very fruity, has a great concentration and exuberance, typical of its youth. It was first produced in 2000.
