Product details
Vinification took place by the traditional method of treading the grapes underfoot in wine presses, as well as in stainless steel vats with automatic pumping over and temperature control. After gentle crushing and complete de-stemming, fermentation took place with light homogenization and prolonged maceration, resulting in the desired levels of aromas and phenols. The blend was aged in both old and new French oak barrels in order to preserve the fruited character that is typical of wines from the Douro. The wine was clarified and filtered before bottling.

The aroma is intense, exuberant and very floral, reminiscent of the scented Rockrose surrounded by fruits of the forest such as cassis; mint and some refined, elegant, well-integrated woody notes. Fresh on the palate, with a hint of cherry. Soft and velvety, presents smooth tannins, and is very well balanced against acidity, giving the wine complexity and longevity. The after-taste is long and well-flavoured.

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.
