Oscar’s Red

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. This rich and bright red wine is packed with juicy black currant and berry fruits, firmly integrated into a dense structure.

2020

TASTING NOTES

Colour

Deep ruby with purple hint, medium saturation

AROMA

Intense notes of dark berries like blueberries and cherries complemented with a touch of dark chocolate.

PALATE

Medium bodied, filled with young fruits and a touch of oak, while the finish shows a riper side of the fruits. Tannins are slightly rustic and will mellow after a few years in the bottle.

This attractive wine is dominated by berry fruits and acidity. It is juicy and lightly tannic, with ripe cherry flavors to give a smoky edge. Drink from 2023.

Winemaking Details

Viticulture:
2020 was an unusually hot year in all seasons but with sufficient levels of precipitation, giving rise to good, albeit rapid, ripening. The harvest started in August and was short and quick, so that the grapes reached the ideal moment of maturation. Hand-harvested grapes from owned and sourced vineyards.

Fermentation:
Grapes were destemmed and crushed. Pre-fermentative skin maceration to enrich the aromas. Fermented on selected yeasts, followed by a full malolactic on the naturally occurring bacteria.

Winemaker:
Teresa Batista

FOOD PAIRING

Grilled meat, stews
