Tasting Notes
Exuberant and complex bouquet of black fruits, such as blackberry and blueberry, harmoniously combined with aromatic hints (menthol and tobacco) as well as with notes of spices. The palate is well-balanced, round, and offers rich tastes of fruits and spices. There is a good concentration of tannins, leading to the wine’s long persistence.
Winemaking
The grapes were hand-harvested. Total destemming. Maceration before fermentation during 48 hours. Fermentation with controlled temperatures of 71.6 F – 82.4 (22 C – 28 C) in open vats (lagares), with automatic pigeurs. Malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. This wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels and 6 further months in oak foudre.

A dynamic blend of Alicante Bouschet, Trincadeira, Touriga Nacional, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 12 months in 400-liter oak and six months in 5,000-liter oak foudres. Dark chocolate and espresso wash over the palate with ease. Well-structured yet graceful, this gymnast offers slate and loose tobacco that wraps around black currant.
