Tiago Cabaço Vinhas Velhas Red

It is from our oldest vines, planted in the Estremoz Region, that we selected the best grapes from traditional Alentejo varieties.

Tasting Notes

Deep red colour. Complex and perfumed, this wine is structured and fresh, with fine tanins. The finish is well- marked and persistent.

Vinification: The 2014 harvest ran smoothly, with prolonged maturations. The climate was generally moderate throughout the year. All grapes were carefully selected on a sorting table before entering the winery and into stainless steel lagares, where all grapes were foot crushed. This wine fermented 100% in these temperature controlled lagares and then aged in French Oak barrels before final blending and bottling.
