Pirr Reserva Red 2022
Our vineyards are testaments to Alentejo’s unique terroir. Nurtured by the sun and wind, it is a place of tranquil splendour and shifting light. Here, time slows. You can feel nature’s delicate pulse, enveloped by the Atlantic’s cooling fresh air currents. It inspired us to create. It has yielded delicious wine like this: velvet-red wild fruit flavours bursting with notes of spicy coca complexity. It pays homage to the land.
Winemaking
Crafted from a meticulous selection of estate-grown grapes at Herdade dos Toucinhos. Hand-harvested into 22 kg crates to ensure optimal grape integrity, the fruit undergoes meticulous sorting on a dedicated sorting table immediately upon arrival at the winery.
After gentle de-stemming and crushing, the grapes are transferred to stainless-steel vats, where they undergo a cold pre-fermentation maceration to enhance aroma and flavour extraction. Fermentation is conducted under strict temperature control at 28oC, over seven days, ensuring a well-structured and harmonious flavour profile.
Before pressing, the wine remains in contact with the skins for an additional three days of post-fermentation maceration, enriching its structure and complexity.
Aging
100% in French oak barrels over 24 months.
Tasting Notes
Deep and bright garnet color. The nose reveals complex aromas, with well-integrated notes of ripe red berries, complemented by warm spices and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it is intense and layered, with a firm structure balanced by smooth, well-rounded tannins. The finish is long, refined, and harmoniously balanced.
Its elegance makes it an excellent pairing of more elaborate fish dishes or richly flavored meat-based meals.
Best served directly from the original bottle. Recommended serving temperature:18oC. Consume within 24 hours of opening.
