36,89 €
At the beginning of the 19th century, a fascinating story emerged in the world of Portuguese Wine: the launch of an icon, a desired wine, but always discreetly kept away from the spotlight.
Alexandre de Almeida innovated by combining luxury hospitality with a wine cellar and his own wine, creating the rare and historic Buçaco wines, produced at Palácio do Bussaco, in the mountains north of Coimbra.
These wines, preserving traditions without adopting modernism, reveal a notable aging potential and can last in the bottle for decades.

Chão dos Eremitas Os Paulistas Red
The Paulistas, name given to the Hermits of the order of São Paulo who made their wine in this place for so long, that this date was lost in the memories. However, the Papal Bull of 1397 exempted “Os Paulistas” from taxes on their vineyards, demonstrating the importance of this location. The place is special and receives two streams that bring water from Serra D’Ossa and keep the water nearby and the soil fresh, with no need for watering for the good development of the grapes. The grapes, also from another time, planted in 1970, Tinta Carvalha, Moreto, Castelão, Alfrocheiro and Trincadeira, demonstrate that there was another Alentejo, without irrigation and without improving varieties. An Alentejo worth recovering, this is our tribute to the Paulistas. Nocturnal manual harvest, selected on a sorting table, 30% whole bunch and 70% destemmed, falling by gravity into the vat. Spontaneous fermentation and maceration between 25 and 40 days, followed by an 18-month aging in French oak barrels with more than three years. Ruby color with some violet touches, medium concentration. On the nose, lots of red forest fruit, some undergrowth. Fresh attack, good fruit with hints of pomegranate. Very thin, long and with structure.
Menin Reserve Red
The different harvested plots were vinified separately where the grapes passed on a selection mat, subsequently undergoing destemming and crushing, being moved by gravity to stainless steel fermentation tanks. Pre-fermentative maceration was carried out at low temperatures ranging from 24 to 48 hours depending on the variety, followed by alcoholic fermentation at temperatures between 25-27ºC. After the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine was transferred to 225L oak barrels. Menin Reserva Red is a wine that has a ruby color, a full aroma of fresh fruit, with notes of wild red fruits, blackberries, plum, in perfect harmony with the spicy nuances conferred by the aging in barrel. In the mouth it has a solid structure, with lively but polished tannins and great freshness and balance.
