A seriously easy-drinking wine. Oscar’s is a wine to open on a Wednesday night. It’s a wine for an impromptu picnic with friends or a family lunch on Sunday.

Is quite expressive, mainly with notes of ripe red berries like strawberries and raspberries, and a presence of floral notes.

The wine displays great freshness, bold, fine and ripe tannins are well balanced, giving it a great body. The finish lingers with fruits, spices and dark chocolate notes.

PRESS COMMENTS & ACCOLADES

Oscar’s Red 2019

87/100
Mark Squires

The 2019 Oscar’s Tinto is a blend of 45% Touriga Franca, 42% Touriga Nacional and 13% Tinta Roriz, unoaked and coming in at 13.3% alcohol. There is now also an organic version of this (also reviewed), but it is hardly the same wine. This has a different blend and is far lower in alcohol. This is also nicely done in its summer-red style. While there is not much depth or power, it has purity of fruit and a fresh feel with silky texture. It’s a pleasure to drink. I’d only add that it is probably best drunk very young, no matter how long it theoretically lasts, to preserve its freshness. June 2021.

Winemaking Details

Viticulture:
The year of 2019 presented a wide variation of temperatures and lower rainfall than average, turning it into a dry year. At the beginning, growth cycle started earlier but throughout the late Spring and Summer months it slowed down. Despite the heavy rain of April, the weather conditions evolved well and we got healthy bunches at harvest. We started the harvest on the last days of August. Grapes were hand picked.

Fermentation:
Totally destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with soft hand macerations and with temperature controlled. 25% of the lot aged 6 months in French oak barrels.

Winemaker:
Teresa Batista

FOOD PAIRING

Summer barbecue, stews
