Flavour Profile
Bold and ultra-smooth, 200 Gallons Reserva is a juicy red wine with a unique twist, from one of our favourite Portuguese winemakers.
Can you imagine buying 1,008 bottles of wine in one year? That’s 200 gallons to be exact – the same amount that each American household was allowed to make for ‘personal use’ during Prohibition. And the go-to grape during this DIY time wasn’t Cabernet or Merlot, it was the bold and juicy Alicante Bouschet - widely planted in California but originally from Portugal.
Today, award-winning winemaker Jamie Quendera has crafted a mighty, Reserva red wine, from rare 100-year-old vines. And the unique twist? Jamie aged the wine for 12 months in custom-made double casks. The top and bottom are French oak (imparting subtle spice) while the long side planks are American (for vanilla notes).
The result is an ultra-smooth, cherry-ripe drop with oodles of plums black pepper spice. An ideal partner for roast lamb or a good steak!
