2020 Encosta da Criveira Lote 60 Reserva Especial red

The Encosta da Criveira Lote 60 Reserva Especial red is a unique and special wine, resulting from a carefully selected blend, foot-trodden and aged in American oak barrels. This wine is a tribute to a man, and through him, life is celebrated. It presents an intense red colour with bright nuances that capture the light in an engaging way. On the nose, the vanilla notes are complemented by a final layer of red fruit, creating an elegant and sophisticated aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine reveals a powerful, sweet entry, balanced by an acidic finish that brings freshness. The notes of vanilla, ripe fruit, and chocolate delicately envelop the palate in a captivating and harmonious way.

At Encosta da Criveira, facing southwest and offering a stunning view over the Castle of Penela, wines are produced from the ingenuity and art of the people of the Terras de Sicó region, blending tradition with modern winemaking techniques, all while embracing the richness and strength of the history that surrounds them.

Here, the wines come from the Beira Atlântico region, where the soils are predominantly clay and clay-limestone, providing the raw materials with incredible freshness.
