Herdade de Coelheiros - 'Coelheiros' Tinto (2020)

About the wine

Herdade de Coelheiros is a picturesque estate located in the Alentejo region of Portugal. The winery was founded in 1991, but the history dates back to 1467 when the property was offered as a dowry to Dom Ruy de Sousa and D. Branca de Vilhena. Despite changes in ownership over the centuries, the philosophy remains the same: resilience through balance, the pursuit of excellence, and preserving the land’s natural biodiversity.

The wine is a blend of 50% Touriga Nacional and 50% Alicante Bouschet coming from the emblematic Vinha do Taco and Vinha da Sobreira vineyards. These dry-farmed vineyards are known for producing beautifully concentrated, perfectly matured grapes. The wine was made using wild yeast fermentation in stainless-steel tanks and then aged for 12 months in neutral French oak barrels.

Inviting aromas of black fruit laced with cedar lead to a palate of juicy, brambly fruit and a touch of baking spice. The mouthfeel is rich and textured with a graceful balance of acidity and fine tannins, with a long velvety finish.

Pairs well with Beef, Venison, Lamb, Veal, Sausage, and Red Sauce Dishes.
