Product details
These grapes from our Ervamoira and Bons Ares estates were manually harvested from carefully selected vineyards. Vinification took place in granite wine pressers or stainless steel vats, depending on the plots. After trimming and pressing in a vertical press, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. For 18 months, 20% of the wine has been aged in wooden barrels, with the other 80% aged in modern one-fill wine barrel of varying capacities.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional,Touriga Franca,Tinta Barroca,Tinta da Barca

Bright and strong colour, dark red with red highlights. Intense nose, perfumes of ripe fruit, plum, cherry, and sour cherry with balsamic notes. In the mouth it is smooth from the outset, ample with aged tannins and a long and complex finish, in the same aromatic register.

Serve between 16º and 18ºC. Store the bottle on its side in a cool, dry and dark place.
Food Pairing:

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
