Amálias 100 Red 2020 Magnum 1.5L
220,00 €
Amálias 100 is a red wine from the 2020 harvest (Amália's centenary year) that is complex, intense, elegant and with a high potential for evolution. With grape varieties from different regions of the country that highlight the quality of the different geographies of Portugal, this blend highlights the excellence and quality of Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro and Touriga Franca.;
Aiming for a wine that, like Amália, represents Portugal, we sought to maintain the richness of diversity, each producer producing a batch representative of the authenticity of their region.
Guided by the experience of wise hands, for 18 months and still in its home, each batch was then elevated to excellence, with aging in barrels.
It was finally time to integrate and unite, into a single wine, creating a superior whole.
12 months of aging in the bottle followed and it was time to take the stage.
With a clear and shiny appearance, Amálias 100 has a deep red color with violet hints and crimson reflections. In the glass the tear is felt, fluid and joyful. The nose of great aromatic complexity, suggests hints of balsam, cedar and mint, wrapped in sweet notes of licorice. An extremely elegant set, highlighting black cherry, blueberry and blackberry. On the palate, it is a wine of great balance, intensity and concentration. In a very layered way, it reveals nuances of candied forest fruit, white spice and dark chocolate.
A structured orchestra of fine and juicy tannins, in harmony with the silky and extremely sophisticated texture. A long, deep and nostalgic goodbye is said as a tribute to Amália Rodrigues and the charismatic strength of Portuguese wine.
A robust and indulgent wine that calls for gastronomic experiences to match: grilled rack of goat, grilled duck breast, oven-baked venison loin, red meat dishes and intense flavors. It can share the spotlight with Roquefort-type cheeses or black fruit and dark chocolate desserts. A profound journey that covers all the senses.

In a “pioneering initiative that aims to give voice to the immensity of Amália”, Rita Nabeiro (from Adega Mayor), Francisca Van Zeller (Van Zellers & Co), Maria Manuel Maia (Poças), Luísa Amorim (Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora) joined forces. do Carmo), Rita Pinto (Quinta do Pinto), Mafalda Guedes (Sogrape) and Catarina Vieira (Herdade do Rocim) to produce a “unique” wine.
