| Tone: An intense ruby colour with violet tones | Tasting Notes - Aroma: This wine has an aroma with prominent notes of ripe red fruits and flowers, a trait often associated with Touriga Nacional. It has a balsamic character with additional notes of fresh menthol |
| Tasting Notes - Palate: On the palate, the wine has excellent volume, well-integrated structure and a very balanced acidity that invites a long, harmonious finish | Vintage / Winemaking: The grapes were harvested by grape variety and plot, and were subject to rigorous quality controls. After destemming and soft-crushing, the grapes were directed via gravity to small stainless steel tanks with temperature controls, where they were vinified by variety. Alcoholic fermentation took place for a period of roughly 8 days at an average temperature of 27ºC |
