This intense garnet red Igreja Velha DOC is made by an esteemed winemaker Leonardo Maia from Sociedade Agricolar Pias. The wine is loaded with deep aromas of ripe red fruits with a hint of jam. On the palate, it has flavorful matured fruit tastes with wood notes from fine maturation in oak barrels. The persistent tannins, long dry finish and refreshing acidity are all brilliant. Allow at least two hours for this red wine to breathe before serving and pair it with red meat, game and cheese for a phenomenal taste.
