Lot Composition 3 bottles – Quinta de Arcossó Reserva Tinto 2021 3 bottles – Quinta de Arcossó Grande Reserva Tinto 2021 The Estate & Origin Quinta de Arcossó is located in the sub-region of Chaves, DOC Trás-os-Montes, an area characterized by altitude, continental climate, and significant thermal amplitude. These conditions contribute to wines with natural freshness, structure, and long ageing potential. The estate works with a clear focus on vineyard expression, sustainable practices, and precise cellar work, positioning Arcossó among the reference producers of quality wines in the region. The Wines Reserva Tinto 2021 (3 bottles) The Reserva 2021 represents the estate’s classic and balanced expression. Produced from carefully selected grapes, it combines ripe but restrained fruit with freshness and firm structure. The wine shows depth and harmony, offering immediate appeal while retaining the capacity to evolve gracefully in bottle over the medium term. Grande Reserva Tinto 2021 (3 bottles) The Grande Reserva 2021 is the estate’s most ambitious red wine, made only in vintages that meet strict quality criteria. It displays greater concentration, complexity, and structure, with extended ageing potential. This wine is built for the cellar, revealing layers of complexity and refinement over time, making it particularly attractive to serious collectors. Winemaking Philosophy Both wines are crafted with a measured and traditional approach, emphasizing balance over excess. Fermentation is conducted with close attention to extraction, followed by ageing designed to integrate structure and preserve freshness rather than dominate the wine’s identity. Cellar Conditions All bottles have been kept under impeccable cellar conditions, with stable temperature and humidity, protected from light and vibration. The wines have been stored specifically to ensure optimal preservation and long-term ageing, with photographic documentation supporting their excellent condition. Final Notes – Collectability & Investment Perspective This dual-level selection from Quinta de Arcossó offers a rare comparative insight into the same vintage expressed at two quality tiers, enhancing both educational and collectible value. DOC Trás-os-Montes wines from serious producers like Arcossó are increasingly recognized for their authenticity, ageing capability, and limited production. The inclusion of both Reserva and Grande Reserva from a strong vintage positions this lot as a solid cellar asset, suitable for long-term enjoyment, vertical tastings, or strategic collection building, with clear potential for patrimonial appreciation over time.
