Lovely red and great for every day.
Ripe red fruit with black forest fruits, black pepper, tobacco, dried herbs and leather. This characterful Portuguese red wine from Alentejo has a rich and warm aromatic palette that embraces you and holds you for a moment. The Monte da Caçada Tinto is an expressive wine from a careful selection of Syrah, Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet grapes, which makes it a powerful but balanced wine.
On the palate, it has a full character. The combination of the three grape varieties creates a complex flavor in which ripe fruit and spicy notes complement each other perfectly. This robust red wine is an excellent accompaniment to various meat dishes. The Monte da Caçada Tinto comes into its own particularly well with beef or veal dishes. This wine also forms a harmonious combination with poultry, where its fruity character and spicy nuances enhance the flavors of the dish.
The vineyards for the Monte da Caçada Tinto are located in the Alentejo, where a distinctly Mediterranean climate prevails. The warm, dry summers alternate with cold winters, which contributes to the development of optimally ripe grapes. The soil, which consists mainly of clay and slate, gives the wine its characteristic mineral notes and structure.
After the harvest, the grapes are carefully destemmed and undergo a 14-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This controlled fermentation ensures optimal extraction of color and aromas. Subsequently, the wine ages for 8 months in a combination of French and American oak barriques. This aging contributes to the complexity and adds characteristic vanilla notes to the palate.
Casa Santos Lima has created a wine here that perfectly translates the terroir of Alentejo. This red wine offers excellent value for money and is suitable for various occasions. Whether for a weekday meal or a special dinner, the Monte da Caçada Tinto is a top choice that combines character and accessibility.
