Menin Reserva Tinto 2020

MENIN RESERVA 2020 was made from the rigorous selection of different vineyard plots that led to the commitment of all efforts. With a total area of 42 hectares on the property, we can find vineyard plots that have ages ranging from 45 to 100 years, leading to the need to interpret with extreme rigor all the evolution of the most diverse plots in order to assess the potential.

Grape Varieties: 5% Touriga Nacional; 35% Touriga Franca; 10% Tinta Barroca; 10% Tinta Amarela; 10% old Vineyards (Mixed Varieties).

Vinification: The different harvested parcels were vinified separately, where the grapes passed through a selection table, later being de-stemmed, crushed and moved by gravity to stainless steel fermentation deposits. Pre-fermentative maceration was carried out at low temperatures varying from 24 to 48h depending on the variety, followed by the alcoholic fermentation at temperatures between 25-27ºC. After the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in a stain-less-steel tank, the wine was transferred to 225L oak barrels.

Ageing: 85% French oak and 15% American oak for 14 months.

Tasting Notes: MENIN RESERVA 2019 a wine with a ruby color, a full aroma of fresh fruit, with notes of wild red fruits, blackberries, plums, in perfect harmony with the spicy nuances conferred by ageing in barrels. In the mouth it has a solid structure, with lively but polished tannins and great freshness and balance.

Oenology: João Rosa Alves / Tiago Alves de Sousa.
