The estate benefits from a unique mesoclimate protected from harsh Atlantic winds by the Montejunto mountain range, allowing grapes to ripen gently while preserving fresh acidity. The \"Garrafeira\" designation in Portuguese wine law is reserved for exceptional vintages that undergo extended aging, both in barrel and bottle, before release, representing the pinnacle of a producer's cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2013 Vinhas do Lasso \"Garrafeira\" is a mature, complex red blend composed of traditional Portuguese varieties alongside international grapes that thrive in Lisboa's clay-limestone soils: Touriga Nacional, Aragonez, and Syrah. Aged for over two years in French oak and rested in bottle for nearly a decade, the 2013 vintage displays a smooth, tertiary profile filled with dried plum, leather, cigar box, and rustic earth, all backed by softened, velvety tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn authentic Portuguese \"Garrafeira\" release with over a decade of cellar maturation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers incredible depth of tertiary flavor: tobacco, dried fruit, cocoa, and leather, at an approachable price.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalances warm interior heat with cool Atlantic mineral freshness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe at cool room temperature between 62°F and 65°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecant for 30 to 45 minutes to let the aged wood and spice aromatics blossom while throwing off any natural sediment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into bordeaux stems to focus the broad, complex bouquet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent with slow-roasted pork shoulder, duck rice (arroz de pato), or braised lamb shank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47658402578486,"sku":"SOMM2609-QDP13GAR-750","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2013QuintadoPinto_VinhasdoLassoGarrafeira.png?v=1788976427","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2013-quinta-do-pinto-vinhas-do-lasso-garrafeira","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
