AR Colheita Especial Red 2015

Fancy language and talk aside, great wine comes down to one factor: having great grapes. It doesn’t matter how much tweaking and magic you try to work, if you have bad grapes, you’ll have bad wine. On the other hand, if you have amazing grapes, it is a whole lot easier to make absolutely delicious wines.

The Portuguese winery AR has a special wine, called Colheita Especial, which means Special Harvest. When the winery finds special grapes from around Portugal, it makes a truly outstanding wine. These wines are something to be cherished for they are only made when the wine can meet a rigorously high standard.

This edition of the AR Colheita Especial features the favorite grape Cabernet Sauvignon blended with stunning the local grapes Trincadeira, Aragonês, and Alicante Bouschet. This complex blend results in a luscious and full-bodied wine, with notes of vanilla and red fruits. With a velvety finish, this gem is sure to get your mouth watering for more.
