Rui Reguinga 'Intensus Reserva' - Tinto

This 2018 red wine hails from Alentejo, Alentejano, Portugal. It's a wonderful blend of Aragonez, Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet. Rui Reguinga, a well - known Portuguese winemaker, is famous for his expertise and love for the terroir. The wine was first fermented in stainless - steel tanks. Then, part of it was aged in used French oak barrels for 8 months before blending and bottling. It has a beautiful ruby color and a fruity aroma with red fruit notes. The wine has a balanced, soft body, and at the end of your glass, you'll taste soft tannins with a long, lasting finish. It pairs perfectly with red meats such as beef, veal, and poultry.

To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 15 - 30 minutes after opening. Pour it into a wide - rimmed wine glass to enhance the aroma. You can serve it at a temperature of around 18 - 20°C. When pairing, remember it goes great with red meats, but you can also experiment with rich pasta dishes. Keep the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, re - cork it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. Try to finish it within 2 - 3 days for the best taste.
