Product details
Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted into wine through a process of careful maceration to extract their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C), until the right degree of sweetness (Baume) is achieved. At this point, grape brandy is added to create the final fortified wine. Wine of exceptional quality, made from one single harvest, bottled between 2 and 3 years after harvest. A deep-red wine, complex, full-bodied and with remarkable ageing potential.
Grape Varieties:
Tinta Roriz,Touriga Franca,Touriga Nacional
Tasting Notes:
Intense ruby red in color with light violet hints. On the nose, very fragrant and intense, where the aromas of ripe fruit stand out surrounded by light menthol notes and some touches of black pepper and cassis. On the palate, it is intense and powerful where all the tannic strength completely envelops the mouth, but always with the ripe fruit very present surrounded by a refreshing sensation caused by its excellent acidity. Long and harmonious aftertaste.
