Information about "Cartuxa Colheita Tinto Magnum 2019"
The Cartuxa Colheita Tinto, crafted from the iconic varietals of Alentejo, enchants with alluring aromas of ripe berry fruit that waft from the glass, enticing the senses. On the palate, this exquisite Alentejo wine reveals a wonderfully concentrated and elegant profile, showcasing a harmonious structure, well-rounded tannins, and a pleasantly smooth, lingering finish. This flagship wine embodies the rich tradition and renowned history of Cartuxa, tracing back to the Carthusian monks who established the Santa Maria Scala Coeli monastery in 1587.
The grapes are hand-harvested, sorted, destemmed, and gently crushed. Following fermentation at 27°C in stainless steel tanks, the wine matured for 12 months in French barriques, and an additional 9 months in bottle.
