The Story: Tapada de Coelheiros' history has been shaped by the character and resilience of its owners, who have always shared the same vision: making the most of the land, while keeping great respect for nature. This organically farmed estate has been making wine since 1867, and this expression of two of Portugal's most famous native varietals is their flagship red, expressing the elegance of the country's long tradition of winemaking.
Why You'll Love Me: Expressive notes of cherry and blackberry on the nose, with just a hint of spice. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a balanced acidity, this versatile blend of native varietals is fresh and crisp with good structure and a long finish from a year in French oak.
