Maria Antonieta 2019 - 750ml

Maria Antonieta is Monte da Raposinha's most ambitious wine, made solely from Touriga Nacional, Portugal's great red grape. It ages for 18 months in used French oak barrels, which round out the wine without overpowering the fruit. Intense ruby in color, with complex aromas of red fruits, sour cherry (ginja), ripe plum, cassis and licorice. On the palate it is elegant, with firm, polished tannins, a fresh finish and subtle notes of oak. A powerful red (15.5% alcohol) for roast lamb, ribs, game meats and Serra cheese. Serve at 16 to 18 °C.
