Quinta do Portal Reserva Tinto 2020

2020 Reserva – Quinta do Portal

Winemaker Notes:
Concentrated ruby color with aromas of ripe black fruit and delicate floral notes, perfectly balanced with subtle oak toast. Expressive on the palate, it offers lovely acidity, a pleasant fruity and toasty aftertaste, and a long, complex finish. Ready to enjoy now, it will continue to develop beautifully with time in the bottle.
