The Character
Overall Intense & powerful
Aromas Ripe red fruit, cassis
Mouthfeel Big & fresh
Tasting Notes This Reserva has more power than the regular reds and much riper fruit. It is bigger and fresher in every respect. Intense and powerful, this is nuanced by cassis and red fruits. It ends with a big finish. There are some typical nuances of aging Cab too. So, while it is fresh for its age, it hardly tastes like a young red.
Selling Point A perfectly aged, matured Bairrada wine
Pairings Roasted lamb
Awards 91pts Wine Advocate
The Story
This is an opportunity to drink a perfectly aged, matured Bairrada wine, showcasing the capacity for longevity in which this region is known. A library release from the winery itself, with the bottles kept in pristine condition for decades, these wines show a complexity that cannot be derived in any other way. Caves São João is the only winery in Portugal offering library releases of still wines commercially, with vintages going back to the 1950s.
