Ruelas 'Reserva' - Red Blend

This 2018 red wine hails from Lisboa, Portugal. It's a blend of 50% Tinta Roriz, 30% Touriga Nacional, and 20% Syrah. With a lovely medium body, it offers ripe fruit flavors, sweet spices, and smooth tannins. The oak - derived vanilla adds a long - lasting finish that'll make you eager for another sip. It pairs perfectly with Smoked Brisket.

To enjoy this wine, simply open the bottle and pour it into a wine glass. Let it breathe for a few minutes to enhance the flavors. You can drink it at room temperature, but a slight chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes can make it even more refreshing. When it comes to food pairing, smoked brisket is a classic choice, but it also goes well with other grilled meats. Keep the bottle stored in a cool, dark place. Once opened, try to finish it within a few days and store it in the fridge with a cork to maintain its quality.
