Quinta da Boa Esperança can be found in the village of Zibreira in Torres Vedras, in the Lisboa district of Western Portugal - the country's most extensive wine-growing area. Here, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra de Montejunto, the Mediterranean climate of mild winters and hot, dry summers is significantly tempered by the proximity of the Atlantic - which provides cool breezes during the hotter summer months. The winery has been in production for over 100 years and the estate's vineyards range from 90-150 metres altitude. Soils are predominantly clay-limestone and rich in nutrients and the grapes are hand harvested.
A blend of varieties Castelão, Syrah and Aragonez, which are hand-harvested into 15kg crates and de-stemmed before pre-fermentation maceration at 8ºC. The must is then fermented in conical vats at 24ºC.The wine spends 12 months in bottle before release.
Quinta da Boa Esperança Tinto Colheita wine is a fresh and supple, unoaked red in an appealing every-day style. Aromas of red fruits with a hint of spice. Bright bramble fruit on the palate balanced by supple tannins, with a hint of minerality and spice, and a fresh finish. The wine offers the juicy fruitiness one expects from a Portuguese red, but the gentleness of tannin and medium-bodied style make it tremendously drinkable. Enjoy with grilled meats and hearty stews
