Herdade das Servas · Alentejo, Portugal · 750 ml
Type: Red Wine / Regional Alentejano Wine Vintage: 2015 Limited Edition: Exclusive batch of 2,729 bottles (this bottle corresponds to the number visible on the label). Alcohol Content: 15% vol. (as visible on the label) Capacity: 750 ml Grape Varieties: Aragonez, Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet Soil and Climate: Vineyards planted in red or yellow soils of schist or graywacke (non-calcareous), under the influence of a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and high temperature ranges. Harvest: Manual, carried out at optimal ripeness, with grapes transported to the winery in boxes. Winemaking: Following total destemming, the wine underwent foot treading in a marble lagar for 48 hours (to enhance pre-fermentative skin contact). Fermentation took place in 10 new French oak spin barrels (500L), followed by two weeks of skin maceration. Aging: 24 months in new 225L French oak barrels, being an unfiltered wine. Visual Appearance: Limpid wine with a deep garnet color. Aroma: Complex and intense, highlighting notes of spices, cocoa, and licorice. Palate: Rich, velvety, and enveloping flavor, structured with round, robust tannins and an elegant, fresh, and highly persistent finish. Serving Temperature: Between 16°C and 18°C (prior decantation is recommended due to the wine being unfiltered). Gastronomy: Ideal to accompany elaborate red meat dishes, game, cured sausages, and intense cheeses. Aging Potential: Between 20 to 30 years, provided it is stored lying down in a cool, dark place without thermal fluctuations.

Raised in Portugal and educated in the United States, André has spent two decades moving between cultures, languages and cellars. His passion for fine wine and spirits began with the great Ports and table wines of his home country and grew into a wider fascination with the craft, history and provenance behind every great bottle. When he isn’t tasting or sourcing, he can be found driving the back roads of Europe in search of small producers and the stories behind their labels.
