QUINTA SANRADELA VELHA

Tinto Reserva 2021

2021 was a relatively cool year. A wet winter meant that at budbreak the vines showed no water stress through flowering. The absence of heatwaves, combined with the cool nights characteristic of our terroir, allowed for precise ripening, preserving natural acidity and producing a well-balanced must with vivid colour and great aromatic complexity.

A cool 2021 — a wet winter and no heatwaves, plus our terroir’s cool nights, gave precise ripening and bright acidity for a vivid, well-balanced must. Foot-trodden in granite lagares, it ferments at controlled temperatures, then ages 36 months in mixed oak and chestnut.
