Quinta do Alqueve Tradicional 2005
Characteristics
Organoleptics
Shining Bordeaux colour with ruby nuances; slightly opened. Fruity character of wild blackberry jam and strawberry jam; caramel and honey; pronounced aromas and some evolution. Medium dry to the palate; balanced acidity and alcohol content; almost smooth, slightly structured and of some complexity. Long finish.
Winemaking
The wine making process is conducted separately for each grape variety, in stainless steel fermenting vats, with stalk and skins, at 28ºC for 5 to 6 days, with a 6 hour remounting interval. It undergoes natural stabilization and a 6 months period in French oak barrels.
Foreseen longevity
