2019 Herdade dos Lagos HDL Seleção Reserva organic red

The Herdade dos Lagos HDL Seleção Reserva organic red reveals a vibrant red colour and an intense aroma of violets, cherry jam, and subtle notes of tobacco. On the palate, it is harmonious and engaging, with expressive fruit, well-integrated tannins, and a persistent finish.

Made from Touriga Nacional and Syrah, it comes from a night-time manual harvest and fermentation in lagares with temperature control. It is aged for 18 months in French oak, followed by natural stabilization and bottle ageing, resulting in an elegant and balanced wine.

Herdade dos Lagos, located in Vale de Açor de Cima and Vale de Camelos, Mértola, spans 1000 hectares of pure nature. Committed to sustainability, the current owners have adopted entirely organic practices, using only products approved for organic farming, with the aim of minimising the use of chemicals, preserving the soil, water, and ecosystems.

In this way, they make the most of the ideal conditions of the Alentejo, with its vast untouched areas, to produce wines of natural character and other products that allow one to fully enjoy the existing terroir.
