Monte Branco XX Anos

XX Anos

VINHO REGIONAL ALENTEJANO

Tasting Note:

Monte Branco XX Anos  Red Wine is surprising for its aromatic freshness, with a perfect balance between the robustness of the Alicante Bouschet and the structure provided by the Trincadeira. Surprisingly young on the palate, with remarkable acidity and perfect integration of the wood, which helps the whole without marking the wine. The result is a polished red, with a lot of fine black fruit and a very classy finish.
