Quinta da Ribeirinha
Area of Orign: Tejo
Protected Designation: DOC Tejo 
 
Tasting Notes:
Very elegant and attractive wine with velvety tannins, perfumed nose with notes of red wild fruits and vanilla flavour from barrel aging. It is a soft, full-bodied wine with a persistent final. It must be opened one hour before serving at temperatures from 16° to 18°C. Best matched with spicy dishes, traditional Portuguese dishes, pasta and red meat or all sorts of strong cheese.
 
Winemaking: 
The grape was well developed, reaching a balanced acidity. It was then introced to the wine process and went through fermentation with temperature control (between 24°C to 26°C) with their skins, seeds, and pulp in order to extract colour and tannins. The wine aged 5 months in oak barrels. Afterwards it was filtered through sands and plaque filters.
