Red Wine: 1995 | Caves Sao Joao | Reserva Particular

Tons of green bell peppers on this one just like fajitas or on a hot sausage sandwich. Ground black pepper too, all in all a fine wine with nice acidity and drying finish but the pepper botes dominated.

Producer Information

Established in 1920, Caves So Joo became a dominant force in Portuguese winemaking in the mid-20th century with their wines Porta dos Cavaleiros from the Do and Bairradas Frei Joo. Given the shifting trends in consumer preferences, Bairrada and Do fell to obscurity in the 1990s when critical influence drove the demand for bigger, extracted, warmer climate wines. But history tends to repeat itself and after 20 years of hibernation savvy consumers and food-conscious sommeliers are again looking for finesse and freshness and heading back to Bairrada and Do. In 2013, the Costa family owners of the estate, decided to open their cellars and offer the old vintages in stock, ranging from 1959 to 2000. Wines that when young had a vegetal character, pronounced tannins and high acidity aged gracefully when kept in perfect condition at the winery for 20-40 years and are now pristine examples of mature wines with profound finesse and irreplaceable complexity. Caves S. Joo, with 1 million bottles in stock, as to be one of the few wineries in the world offering library with vintages going back to the late 1950s. What makes Caves So Joo unique? Since this winery was established in 1920, it became a dominant force in Portuguese winemaking in the mid-20th century. This winery has such a large range in vintages from 1959 to 2000 and these wines are kept in perfect condition.
