Herdade do Arrepiado Velho Tinto 2017

88POINTS

16/20

Alentejo, Central and Southern Portugal, PortugalThis Alentejo touriga nacional leaps from the glass with giant purple and blue fruits and florals: plums, blueberries, violets, iris, cassis. The palate is drawn long via fine rasped pepper and scrubby rock roses, buffered by lightly chewy, grip tannins, and full of the Portuguese sunshine, to a warming finish. For all its intensity, there's an inherent freshness here that carries the 14 degrees alcohol. This was native fermented in a mix of inox and large oak vats before resting for a few months in the same. Antonio Maçanita (of FitaPreta) is the winemaker for this project.Tasted: 07 August 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
