Dona Berta Sousão 2015 Tinto Reserva

€ 25.00

Very concentrated red wine. The aroma is initially discreet with light notes of fruit and without the vegetable character. On the palate, it does not leave anyone indifferent, thanks to its good acidity, enormous concentration, soft tannins and some minerality.

Food pairing

This is a wine that requires strong and intense dishes. Nothing better than a lamprey à bordalesa, or with a good chanfana (Portuguese braised lamb). Spicy stews and spicy Indian dishes

Grapes: 100 % Sousão

Fermented at a constant temperature of 16 ° C. A minimum amount of sulfur is used that is necessary to prevent oxidation.

The Douro produces wines with a style very different from the Vinho Verde red wines, but with an unmistakable character - red color, aroma with vegetable notes, great freshness on the palate, enormous concentration of tannins and of course an excellent alcohol content. .
