Cabecas do Reguengo Respiro Clarete 2022

"Freshness, refinement & the most unique wine in our portfolio. Where red & white grapes work as a team to create our Portuguese, Alentejo mountains claret. As the name Respiro means “Breath” it suggests the brightness & refreshing mouth watering character. With a lighter colour, silky smooth tannins & almost salivating acidity. A phenomenally drinkable & savoury wine that incites you to drink more, without the weight of the alcohol. A beauty!

Hand-picked harvest, natural fermentation in a cement vat, red grapes were crushed & de-stemmed. Five weeks maceration. Natural fermentation & ageing for 9 months in very old oak barrels (225 litres). Malolactic done. Freshness & refinement.

Style: Light Savoury Red.

Serving Temperature: 12-14ºC

Food Pairing: BBQ or grilled oily fish, such as sardines, mackerel & salmon. Intense hard cheeses & sharing boards with olives & dry meats. Paprika flavours in your dishes as well as sumac sour spice! A very versatile food friendly wine." -Supplier notes
