Product details

Winemaking:
Grapes were harvested by variety. Upon arriving at the winery, the grapes are destemmed and carried to fermentation vats, where the vinification process occurs. Alcoholic fermentation took place for around 8 days, at an average temperature of 26ºC. After the alcoholic fermentation, the must was racked to separate the wine from the rough sediments. It then rested in stainless steel vats up until the bottling day.

Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional,Baga,Alicante Bouschet,Syrah

Tasting Notes:
Intense, deep ruby colour, with a bright red rim. The predominant flavours are ripe, cooked black fruits. Sweet notes of vanilla and hints of mocha. The first impression in the mouth is rich and full. Excellent balance of tannins and acidity, with a long, smooth finish.

Store and Serve Advices:
Store the bottles horizontally. This wine's fresh and fruity profile suggests an immediate consumption, though it does have an estimate of positive ageing of at least 5 years. Serve between 15ºC-17ºC.

Food Pairing:
The balanced profile of this wine and the easy tasting it provides makes it suitable to be enjoyed while dining outside. It is also wonderful when paired with grilled meat and cheeseburgers.

Excellent Wine

Mellow and full of nice tastes.

Delicious

We tried this wine on a cruise and we fell in love with it. The flavours are just right. Smooth red wine with hints of fruit and pepper I think. I only wish that it was readily available in the UK. I would highly recommend this wine.

Silk &spice

Wer halbtrocken mag ist hier super richtig,schmeckt sehr fruchtig, Farbe toll. Nur gar nicht mein Geschmack,ich mag es trocken. Habe die Flasche geschenkt bekommen,das Etikett war wohl der Grund . Schade.
