MULA VELHA VINHO REGIONAL LISBOA RESERVA 2023

A Reserva-level red from the Lisboa hills at this price point is the exception, not the rule — most bottlings at this tier skip the classification entirely. Mula Velha blends Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Syrah from elevated vineyard sites outside Lisbon, where Atlantic breezes moderate temperatures and reduce the jammy character common in warmer Portuguese reds. Grapes were cool fermented in open bins before three months of aging in oak barrels. The result is a structured but accessible red with bright black fruit, spice, and a clean finish.
