Description
Every time we come across a wine like this, we're more convinced that Portugal has a treasure trove of amazing wines that are ready to take the world by storm. Not only is their quality consistently high, they also provide incredible value for money. This Reserva is a blend of Tinta Roriz, Shiraz and Touriga Nacional, grown in the wine region Lisboa. Formerly called Estremadura, it stretches north from the capital of Lisbon along the coast. Known for its variety of reliefs and microclimates, wineries closer to the coast are more affected by the Atlantic, while those inland are warmer. “Mula Velha” is an “old mule,” and this doesn’t just refer to the industrious agricultural helper! It is also a Portuguese expression for a wise and experienced person who doesn’t let himself get tricked. In a way, that’s true for this wine: it’s made by people who clearly know what they are doing. It promises what it delivers. This full-bodied Reserva is fermented in stainless steel vats, and aged for three months in wood. Serve it at 18 ºC and drink between now and 2026.
