The Ravasqueira Reserva da Família Red 2016 is a tribute to the José de Mello family and the result of an in-depth analysis of the vineyard in 2014, which resulted in the selection of the plots with the grape varieties that most stood out for their elegance, concentration, and character, the pillars of this Monte da Ravasqueira Reserve range. The unique soils and topography of Monte da Ravasqueira permit us to highlight the areas of the vineyard with greater balance and potential, thus allowing them to be singled out to give rise to this wine.

Tasting Notes
Dense red and deep violet colour. Nose of great elegance and complexity with black fruit notes, integrated wood and spice. The same elegant profile is displayed in the taste, accompanied by fine, long and chewy tannins. Notes of chocolate and mineral marked notes integrated with notes of barrel and earth, as well as liquorice and floral notes.

Classic and timeless wines produced only from selected areas of the vineyard.
Authentic and International in profile, they reflect the special character that the Viognier and Alvarinho varieties reveal in the Ravasqueira terroir, harmoniously together and with a five-month stage in barrels of French oak.
They are also the result of a spirit of discovery and sharing of unique values, year after year.

Tasting Notes
Yellow with greenish traces, this wine presents great minerality and well-marked notes of ripe citrus. In the test, it has a certain grease to it, reflecting its stage on the lees with light battonage for the six months prior to bottling. A complex wine, full of harmony and elevation. Has a wide gastronomic spectrum. To drink now or to keep.
