From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The Monte Velho Reserva Red is an expression of craftsmanship and dedication, produced by the renowned Esporão winery in the idyllic Alentejo region of Portugal. After three decades of winemaking, Esporão has added this beautiful Reserva to their Monte Velho series, under the motto "Made slowly in Portugal." This wine is distinguished by its rich aromas and smooth flavors, carefully crafted from the region's finest grapes. Sustainable viticultural practices, which avoid the use of pesticides and herbicides, keep the soil healthy and fertile, contributing to the unique quality of this wine. The Reserva reveals deep notes of wild fruits and black plums, harmoniously combined with hints of sweet spice and a touch of toasted aromas thanks to aging in oak barrels.

The aroma of Monte Velho Reserva Red is truly captivating, with a bouquet that captivates the senses and invites deeper exploration. The intense aromas of candied black fruits like blackberries and cherries are enhanced by underlying notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, creating a complex and intriguing nose. These elements seamlessly integrate with the subtle toasted nuances imparted by the oak barrels, creating a warm and inviting aroma. The flavor profile is equally impressive, with a rich and full-bodied flavor that fills the mouth with the same black fruits discovered on the nose. The balance between the fruity character and the spicy, toasted elements is exquisite, leading to a long and lingering finish that is both refined and memorable.

Monte Velho Reserva Red is not only a pleasure to drink but also an excellent partner for various gastronomic adventures. It's particularly well-suited to dishes like honey-glazed ribs or pulled pork, where the sweet and spicy notes of the sauce complement the wine's complex flavors. It's also a perfect match for an Oriental Jackfruit Rendang, where the spicy and fruity notes harmonize with the rich and aromatic components of the dish. Monte Velho Reserva Red brings a touch of Portuguese summer to every culinary occasion, making it a favorite among wine lovers seeking a wine that stands alone as well as paired with a meal.
