Família Margaça Reserva Tinto is een prachtige, karaktervolle wijn uit de regio Alentejo, een van de meest gewaardeerde wijnstreken van Portugal. Deze wijn is samengesteld uit een zorgvuldig gekozen blend van drie druivensoorten: Aragonês, Petit Verdot en Sousão. Deze druivenrassen delen een enorm potentieel en zorgen samen voor een expressieve, complexe en zuivere wijn die zowel diepgang als elegantie biedt. Met een alcoholpercentage van 14,5% heeft deze wijn een stevige structuur, zonder in te boeten aan verfijning. De druiven worden met de hand geplukt, wat bijdraagt aan de hoge kwaliteit van de wijn. De vinificatie vindt plaats in roestvrijstalen vaten onder gecontroleerde temperatuur, waardoor de puurheid en frisheid van de druiven optimaal behouden blijven. Na de fermentatie ondergaat de wijn een rijping van maar liefst 12 maanden in Franse eikenhouten vaten, wat zorgt voor extra complexiteit en verfijnde houttonen in de smaak. De Família Margaça Reserva Tinto is een uitstekende keuze voor de echte wijnliefhebber.

   

This beautiful wine has a deep ruby red color, indicative of an intense wine. Expressive nose, complex and clean. The bouquet is complemented by aromas of black fruit jam and a hint of licorice. On the palate, it is muscular, intense, and very gastronomic. Notable tannins, but well-polished, balanced by a surprising acidity, characteristic of Margaça Family wines and the limestone soils of Pias. A full-bodied wine, with great structure and high quality. On the palate, fruity aromas of black cherries and plums emerge, guiding the tasting through to the long and very pleasant aftertaste. A wine ready to be enjoyed, but one that benefits from 3 to 5 years of aging. Família Margaça Reserva calls for being tasted at the table. Although it pairs wonderfully with red meat, hearty sauces, or simply grilled, with game dishes, or even cozy stews, we recommend tasting this wine with well-seasoned oven dishes. The spicy aromatic component, lively tannins, and remarkable acidity make lamb, so typical of Alentejo gastronomy, the perfect companion for our Reserva. Full, powerful, and intense, we recommend serving this wine at 18ºC.

In 2020, the Margaça family takes a moment to catch their breath and reevaluate their course. With deep respect for their history and the rich traditions of the region, they decide to develop a new strategy that reflects the true essence of their wines. They take on the task of claiming the origin and authenticity of their wines, honoring the real wines of Pias. Thus, a new brand is born: Família Margaça wines. This brand is not only an ode to the family and their passion for winemaking but also a tribute to the people of the village – those who, for generations, have contributed with dedication and craftsmanship to the unique identity of Pias. With this renewed positioning and a strong new image, the family brings their mission to the forefront: to restore Pias to what it has always been and will always be – a region of exceptional wines, shaped by tradition, love for the land, and the heritage of generations.
