2019 Marmelar red
The Herdade do Monte da Ribeira dates back to 1958, being acquired in 1986 by the industrialist Victor Carmona e Costa who, in the following 15 years, not only completely reformed the Herdade but also implemented the entire current productive agricultural structure and winery. The Herdade is located in the parish of Pedrogão, belonging to the municipality of Vidigueira and next to the village of Marmelar. As such, it has an area of around 1100 hectares, dedicated to winegrowing and forestry. As one of the main focuses of the estate is wine production, the first vineyard was planted in 1989 and the first harvest appeared in 1992, marketed under the Vidigueira brand. Later the Pousio and Quatro Caminhos brands were added and recently, the Marmelar brand.

General Description
2019 Marmelar Red is a rich and elegant Portuguese wine crafted from carefully selected grapes grown in the Vidigueira region. This blend combines traditional varietals with modern winemaking techniques, resulting in a full-bodied red wine with a deep ruby color. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red fruits, blackberries, and plums, complemented by subtle hints of spice, vanilla, and toasted oak from barrel aging. The palate is well-structured, with silky tannins and balanced acidity, leading to a long, smooth finish with lingering notes of dark chocolate and spice. Perfect for pairing with red meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses, the 2019 Marmelar Red embodies the sophistication and richness of Vidigueira's winemaking heritage.
