Quinta de Arcossó Grande Reserva Tinto 2020

The Quinta de Arcossó Grande Reserva Red 2020 is a masterful representation of Trás-os-Montes winemaking, crafted with precision, care, and a deep connection to the region's terroir. This wine captures the essence of old-vine traditions, blending intensity, complexity, and elegance into a bottle that reflects both its origins and the dedication of its producers.

The Vineyard and Winemaking
The grapes for the Grande Reserva Red are sourced from the estate's meticulously cultivated vineyards, situated at mid-altitude on granite-rich soils. These conditions, combined with the vineyard's age, deliver fruit of exceptional quality and concentration.

After careful hand-harvesting, the grapes are fermented with precision to extract the finest aromas and flavors. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, allowing it to develop structure and complexity while integrating the oak's subtle influence. Following barrel maturation, the wine undergoes an extended bottle aging period to further refine its character.

Tasting Notes
Color: Deep ruby red with garnet highlights, showcasing its youthful vibrancy and aging potential.
Aroma: The nose is layered and enticing, offering a symphony of dark fruits like blackcurrants and plums, interwoven with notes of cedar, vanilla, and a touch of spice. Subtle hints of balsamic, dark chocolate, and crushed herbs add depth.
Palate: Full-bodied and intense, with polished tannins that provide a velvety texture. Ripe blackberry and cherry flavors dominate, supported by a mineral backbone that reflects the granite soils. The oak aging lends nuances of toasted almond, clove, and a whisper of smokiness. The finish is long and elegant, marked by a balance of freshness and richness.
Food Pairing
This wine is a versatile companion to sophisticated dishes, such as:

Red Meat: Grilled ribeye steak, slow-braised beef cheeks, or venison.
Game Birds: Duck confit or roasted quail with herbs.
Mature Cheeses: Aged Manchego, Cheddar, or Parmesan.
Serving Suggestions
Temperature: Best enjoyed at 16–18°C to fully express its complexity.
Decantation: Decanting for at least an hour is recommended to allow the wine to breathe and open up its aromatic layers.
Cellaring Potential
The 2020 vintage of Quinta de Arcossó Grande Reserva Red is built to age gracefully. With proper storage, it will continue to develop over the next 10–15 years, gaining further complexity and nuance.
