Product details
Winemaking:
Manual harvest of the grapes in 20 Kg boxes. Upon arrival at the winery the grapes originating from 100 year old vines are carefully selected and destemmed. Pre-fermentative maceration at low temperature with robotized treading in stainless steel lagares (troughs) takes place, following fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Pumping over and delestage processes are then started in order to obtain the greatest extraction possible through a careful selection limited to the chosen constituents. A long post-fermentative maceration takes place. Ageing In 225 and 300 litres French oak barrels for 24 months, 70 % ages in new oak barrels and 30 % in second and third year barrels.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional,Touriga Franca,Tinta Roriz,Sousão
Tasting Notes:
Deep red colour with violet tones. Intense aroma dominated by very ripe black fruits, blackberries and cassis, also showing aromas of violet and exotic wood. Aromas of spices result from the oak barrels. All these aspects contribute to a great aromatic complexity that will increase with time. Full bodied, well balanced acidity with firm and ripe tannins. These characteristics together make it a full bodied and powerful wine with a long, persistent finish.
