Evel | Red | 2021 | Douro CNY

Intro: Evel is one of the oldest and most carismatic wine brands in Portugal, having been registered in 1913. With no specific meaning, the word Evel is a derivative of its anagram: Leve (light). The brand name was chosen with the intention of describing its tasting characteristics, which are maintained until this day: an elegant, smooth and enjoyable wine.

Winery: Real Companhia Velha

Tasting Notes: A young and bright wine with a profound red ruby colour and violet tints. Intense aromas of mature red berries and green tobacco, harmonoisly integrated with vanilla, result of its ageing in oak. Medium-bodied, soft tannins and subtle oak, make this wine round, pleasant, well- structure and very persistent in its finish.
