Grapes

Touriga National, Aragonez, Alfrocheiro

Production

The grapes are crushed with total destemming then fermentation at 26°C and a long skin maceration. It then spends 6 months in barrels and 2 months minimum in the bottle before it goes to market.

Tasting Notes

The wine has the appearance of deep claret and this is due to the grapes in the blend being very dark skinned. On the nose it has a distinct intensity and is predominantly dark fruit confit, balsamic with hints of caramelised onions and beetroot. The wine offers wonderful notes on the palate that comes from aging in high quality barrels. It is fruity, smooth and elegant with balsamic and warm spiced notes then it all comes together in a harmonious style.

Pair with soft cheese, game or steak pies, stews with warm spices and grains. Lovely with grilled red meat or an indulgent dark chocolate tart.
