Mateus Nicolau de Almeida's "O Tinto Perfeito" translates to ‘a perfect red’ and this blend from Portugal might be just that. Flavors of red plum, macerated strawberries, rhubarb, eucalyptus and caraway balance for a super fresh and crunchy, medium bodied wine with a touch of peppery spice! A red and white blend of native Portuguese grapes is done in a lighter style that can shine with a slight chill. 15% white grapes (mostly Malvasia Fina) along with the red-berried Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca varieties. Macerated for 10 days before aging in steel tanks and bottled unfiltered and unfined. Mateus Nicolau de Almeida is a fifth generation winemaker making wines from several regions of Portugal under a few different labels but always committed to organic viticulture, even embracing biodynamic practices in many of the vineyards. Low sulfites.
