Terrenus Reserva Vinhas Velhas Tinto 2015
Descripción
Este reserva se elabora principalmente de variedades autóctonas de la zona de Alentejo, principalmente de Aragonez, Trincadeira, Grand noir y Alicante bouschet, con un 20% de Baga, Castelão, Alfrocheiro y Moreto. Las uvas proceden de los viejísimos viñedos de Rui Reguinga, aquellos en los que las variedades crecen entremezcladas entre si. Para él, el vino debe ser un reflejo fiel y real del terruño, algo evidente en este tinto y sus aromas de frutos negros envueltos en especias. Una maravilla que es a su vez potente y fresco, y que sin duda te sorprenderá.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2015 Terrenus Reserva Vinhas Velhas is a field blend (principally Aragonez, Trincadeira, Grand Noir and Alicante Bouschet in roughly 20% chunks, plus others like Castelão, Alfrocheiro, Moreto and Baga), aged for 20 months in 50% new French oak. It comes in at 14.2% alcohol. Unlike the 2013, this is a bit delicate, but its structure might be even better than the 2013. At once elegant and intense, this is beautifully structured. It is a remarkably fresh red with superb mid-palate finesse and a serious backbone. That's not all, though, as the fruit delivers plenty of flavor and in waves, varying between beef, strawberries and cherries. When first seen, this was a bit closed, but it has certainly blossomed. It no longer quite seems thin—it is just that old-school finesse. It is very sophisticated. The finish is very long too, and this has persistence. It may yet improve more. Overall, I'd still take the 2013 revisited this issue for its more concentrated mid-palate, but this has virtues of its own and it is certainly more elegant.
En 2004, Rui Reguinga adquirió por fin las viñas viejas que tanto buscaba a los pies de la Sierra de San Mamede, en dos parcelas de la región de Alentejo. A unos 1.000 metros de altura, este es el origen de los vinos de su proyecto Terrenus.
