Adega Marel 

Adega Marel Manolito Tinto 2019

14% Granja-Amareleja. This red blend of Moreto and Trincadeira combined portions of talha fermented and stainless steel fermented wine, aged further in stainless steel tanks. Very closed and tight initially, 24 hours later it blossomed into quite a generous wine. Leading with spirity, roasted, dried black fruit and vanilla aromas, similar flavors followed. Given the high alcohol, it was much finer bodied than expected, with juicy acidity driving length. 88
