2018 Quinta do Sanguinhal Grande Escolha red

Quinta do Sanguinhal Grande Escolha was produced with Castelão, Touriga Nacional and Aragonez grape varieties. This wine aged for 36 months in French oak barrels and has a deep garnet colour. The elegant aroma reveals ripe black fruits, combined with balsamic and spicy notes, with a slight hint of tobacco. The firm tannins and excellent balance between fruit, wood and acidity give this wine great gastronomic potential.

The Companhia Agrícola do Sanguinhal was founded in the 1920s, by Abel Pereira da Fonseca, in the Bombarral region. At that time, Abel Pereira da Fonseca owned the largest network of retail establishments in the country, taking advantage of his position to create the Company, dedicated only to the production and trade of wines.

The Companhia Agrícola do Sanguinhal is made up of three Quintas: Quinta do Sanguinhal, Quinta das Cerejeiras and Quinta de São Francisco, located in the Lisbon Wine Region, more specifically in the Óbidos Demarcated Region. Here the properties benefit from a microclimate provided by the Serra de Montejunto and the Atlantic Ocean, which gives the still wines, fortified wines, and brandies, a fresh and balanced profile, revealing their unique characters.
