Product details
Pre-fermentative maceration at controlled temperature of 10-12ºC. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel lagares (troughs) with robotized treading at controlled temperature not exceeding 30ºC, in order to obtain the greatest extraction possible of skins constituents. The aromatic intensity and elegance originate from the grape varieties Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, as well as from many other noble varieties originating from centenary Douro vineyards. Maturation/Elevage in oak barrels. Racking, analysis and regular tastings take place during this period in order to follow closely the evolution of the wine and define the final blend.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional,Touriga Franca,Tinta Roriz
Tasting Notes:
Deep red colour with dense violet tones. Intense and elegant aroma dominated by ripe black fruits like blackberries, prune and cassis, also showing balsamic aromas of resin and cedar. Full bodied with great structure, well balanced acidity, with firm ripe and well integrated tannins. These characteristics make for a very persistent, harmonious and elegant finish. A wine with great ageing potential.

Food Pairing:
Great for follow up with a good cheese and sweet desserts.
Allergens:
Contains sulphites.
