Buçaco 2017 red is an intense wine that translates the elegance of Touriga Nacional do Dão and the freshness and vigor of Baga da Bairrada. With aromas of black fruits, it presents a beautiful tension on the palate showing complexity and finesse. Powerful but still a little reserved, this 2017 will age for a long time.

Alexandre de Almeida, founder of the oldest hotel chain in Portugal with the same name, started producing Buçaco wines in 1917 when, after many visits to European hotels, including some on the French Côte D'Azur, he realized what the concept meant. Hotel Winery. He then created his own wine cellar at Palácio do Buçaco, producing wines that would come to be known as the glorious “Vinhos do Buçaco”. At the beginning of the 20th century, the wine was born that would become an icon, albeit intentionally kept out of the spotlight. Its creator, Alexandre de Almeida, adopted the concept of luxury hotels with their own wine. Looking back, from the first harvests, Buçaco wines were served to kings, queens and heads of state, as evidenced by the letter, proudly kept in the Buçaco Palace Hotel. These wines were cult objects, limited to very restricted circles. Its fantastic and noble labels carry the symbol of its nobility to this day.
