Encosta do Sobral Grande Reserva Red wine is a blend of Syrah and Touriga Franca grapes, which have been foot-trodden in the traditional lagares of Encosta do Sobral. The press wine is combined with the free run juice and immediately transferred to new 300-liter French oak barrels. Here, it ages on the lees from malolactic fermentation for a period of 25 months, adding complexity and depth to the wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Touriga Nacional wines undergo a process of daily délestages (rack and return) and are left on the skins for 21 days before pressing. These wines then spend 18 months maturing in 225-liter French and American oak barrels. The result of this meticulous process is a wine rich in flavor, with a balanced structure and a captivating aroma.
