Product details
As this is an excellent quality wine intended for prolonged ageing, a careful selection of superior quality grapes from the best plots is essential. These are carefully transported to the cellar, in order to be received in the best conditions. After receiving the grapes, those are crushed without destemming. Fermentation takes place for 3 to 4 days in foot-treading presses for greater extraction of colour and aromas. At the right time, the skins are separated, to which wine brandy at 77% is added, so that the wine has 19.5% alcohol and 100 to 120 g/l of reducing sugars. Then the wine ages for a maximum of 2 years before bottling, to later complete its evolution in the bottle.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional,Touriga Franca,Sousão
Tasting Notes:
Dark and intense ruby colour. Exuberant, young, fresh and very complex aroma, initially marked by the presence of resinous, almost vegetable notes, with hints of eucalyptus, rock rose and menthol. Aromas of black plum, blackberry and currant also stand out, interspersed with very present floral nuances, characteristic of the Touriga-Nacional. Full-bodied wine with excellent volume, revealing well-marked, firm, smooth and enveloping tannins in a soft set in the mouth. It presents a great balance between sweetness and acidity, in which its flavour perfectly transmits the aromatic sensations and freshness, enhanced by the notes of blackberry and menthol, which extend into a final of great persistence.
