Product details
The grapes, from Quintas Bom Retiro (40%) and Quinta de Ervamoira (60%), are hand-harvested into small 25kg boxes and taken to the wine press for treading. Fermentation lasts between 3 and 5 days, producing a wine with excellent extract. The wine then ages in Vila Nova de Gaia, in vats holding approximately 15,000 liters. The blend was made in March 2023 and bottled in June of the same year.

Tasting Notes:
Intense, highly concentrated ruby color, almost opaque in the center. It presents an intense and deep ruby color, reflecting its youthfulness and vigor. On the nose, it reveals an explosion of fruity aromas, highlighting notes of ripe cherry, fresh strawberry, and juicy plum, accompanied by delicate floral nuances of rose petals. Freshness is a striking characteristic of this wine, the result of a year with milder temperatures, which ensured balanced ripening of the grapes. This freshness is reflected in a lively, well-integrated acidity, which, along with fine tannins, provides a vibrant and harmonious palate. The finish is long, juicy, and elegant, suggesting excellent aging potential in the bottle.
