Relvas Family Selection Red
Tasting Notes
This wine is a deep ruby color with hints of violet. It brings forward aromas of ripe red and black fruits (mulberry, raspberry and plum) with a touch of spice, and balmy notes such as pepper, mint and coconut. It is well-balanced and round with a rich taste of fruits and spices and smooth tannins.
Winemaking
After total destemming, the grapes underwent a cold soaking so that they could go through maceration 48 hours before alcoholic fermentation. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures of 71.6° F (22° C ) for the first half and 82.4° F (28° C) on the second. Afterwards, the wine was in contact with the skins between 5 and 10 days. Malolactic was made in stainless steel vats with French oak staves, and then 50% of the wine was aged in 400L French Oak barrels for 4 months.
