Quinta de Arcossó Reserva Red is a notable example, the result of the distinct terroir of Arcossó, Vidago, in the Ribeira de Oura sub-region. Originating from an exclusive plot of 10.5 hectares, part of a 12-hectare vineyard planted in 2003, this wine reflects the excellence of viticulture in the region. Located on a slope to the south, at an altitude of 375 meters and with a slope of 20%, the granite soil gives the wine unique characteristics. Traditional winemaking in a press, with foot treading, followed by a 12-month aging period in French oak barrels, both new and used, culminates in a period of maturation in the cellar for 6 months after bottling. This careful elaboration results in a wine of intense color and aroma, where floral and ripe fruit notes stand out, in perfect harmony with the elegance of the wood. On the palate, Quinta de Arcossó Reserva Red reveals a robust structure, mature flavors and exceptional freshness, accompanied by vigorous tannins that promise a long, full-flavored finish. This wine is not just a drink, it is an enriching experience, ideal for the most special moments, reflecting the passion and tradition of Portuguese viticulture.
