Merino is – right down to its name – an excellent wine for mutton, but also pairs well with grilled meat, game, for meat stews and richly flavoured cheeses.
Casa Relvas is particularly aware of sustainability issues. A large number of sheep maintain the vineyards in autumn and winter, and chemicals are used minimally. This wine is named after the Merino sheep grazing in the vineyards,which is the number one sheep breed in the Alentejo region – Relvas has more than 400. Merino red wine grapes are harvested by hand. The stems are removed and the wine is aromatised 48 hours before fermentation. Fermentation takes place in refrigerated vats (lagares). 10% of the wine is matured in used 400 l casks made from French oak for half a year.
