Covela Reserva Tinto

55.00120.00

As we no longer produce red wines at Covela, the remaining stocks of Reserva Tinto and Colheita Seleccionada Tinto are increasingly rare. Made from a blend of Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from vines planted on Covela’s granite terraces at low altitude over the Douro River, in the southeastern corner of the Demarcated Region of Vinhos Verdes, these wines are truly unique. Dark garnet ​​in color, they are lighter wines than the reds from the neighbouring Douro demarcation. They also tend to show more freshness and an elegance that becomes more evident with the passing of the years, and luckily they also have an amazing capacity to age well. Covela practices organic farming and is certified by KIWA-Sativa.
