Beyra 'Reserva' - Vinho Tinto

The 2021 Beyra 'Reserva' is a remarkable red wine from the Beira Interior region of Portugal. Under the expert guidance of winemaker Rui Roboredo Madeira, it belongs to the innovative Altitude Wines line. The grapes here thrive in a climate with cool temperatures, strong sunlight, and stable daily temperatures. This ideal environment allows for slow, consistent ripening, resulting in a wine with concentrated flavors and a well - balanced profile. Composed of 70% Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) and 30% Jaen (Mancia), it spends 8 months aging in a blend of new American and French oak barrels. On the nose and palate, it offers ripe black currant flavors, elegant minerality, and subtle barrel notes of toast, vanilla, and spices. This ruby - hued wine pairs perfectly with hearty roasts or classic Portuguese smoked meats.

To enjoy this Beyra 'Reserva' red wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour after opening. This helps release its full aroma. Pour it into a large - bowl wine glass to enhance the aroma experience. As for food pairings, go for hearty roasts like beef or lamb, or classic Portuguese smoked meats. When storing, keep the bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and strong vibrations. Make sure to re - cork it tightly after opening and consume it within a few days to maintain its freshness.
