The Couquinho Grande Reserva 2019 reveals a remarkable blend of grape varieties from old vines, resulting in an extraordinary aromatic complexity. On the nose, elegant notes of rockrose and undergrowth stand out, wrapped in a subtle presence of perfectly integrated wood.
In the mouth, it is full and enveloping, with a solid structure and finely polished tannins that provide a velvety texture. The wild fruits stand out on the palate, culminating in a long and exquisite finish, full of balance and sophistication.
This is an excellent wine, ideal to accompany red meats, traditional sausages and game dishes. Thanks to its structure and potential for ageing, it is also a quality choice for storage.
