Rui Madeira Beyra Natural Biologico
£25.50
This wine shows a very fruity nose with wild fruits with discreet, nuances of flowers, smooth, wide, and persistent palate with freshness and very soft tannins. In order not to interfere with vinification, this wine was fermented and then aged in cement tanks until bottling. The grapes are selected from old biological vineyards in the parish of Vermiosa in Beira Interior, from various red varieties that always showcased parameters such as alcohol content, acidity, colour, structure, and smoothness of the wines to be obtained.
Ideal with beef roasts, Iberian ham, and cheeses.
