Red counterpart to the Reserva Branco and certainly no less popular. Exceptional blend of 7 different grape varieties, both local and internationally renowned. 12 months of aging in old and new oak barrels, followed by 8 months of bottle aging.

Dark ruby red color. On the nose, blackcurrants, blackberries, and cherries. Spiciness with black pepper, nutmeg, and licorice. Oak, vanilla, chocolate & tobacco. Medium body, present but rounded tannins, well-balanced. Medium finish. Very fair price-quality wine.
