Vale da Mata Reserva 2018 Red Wine

Vale da Mata Reserva is a red wine from the Lisboa wine region of Portugal, produced by Herdade do Rocim. This wine is highly regarded for its ability to uniquely express the region's terroir, marked by the freshness and minerality influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. It's often crafted from a blend of Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz (Aragonez), and sometimes includes Syrah or Alicante Bouschet, depending on the vintage.

Vale da Mata Reserva Red Wine presents a deep garnet color with a complex aroma of green tobacco leaf, minerality, and spices, alongside hints of dark berries and cocoa. On the palate, it's a structured and elegant wine with firm yet silky tannins, offering a precise and refined taste that balances strength with delicacy, culminating in a long, persistent finish. This wine is ideally paired with roasted or grilled red meats, game dishes, and strong Portuguese cheeses.
