Tasting notes
Garnet red colour. Aroma with ripe wild berries with subtle dark chocolate nuances. Part of the aging added body, presence and complexity without compromising the traditional elegance of the wines of this region.
Food Pairing
Cured meats, grilled red meats, duck rice.
Vinification
The harvesting of the different varieties is done at the stage of matu-ration that is considered ideal for each of the varieties that constitute this blend. Manual harvest in 15 Kg boxes. Manual selection in a sorting table. After destemming and crushing, vinification occurs in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures, with appropriate maceration to its characteristics. After malolactic fermentation, part of the wines obtained from Touriga Nacional and Alfrocheiro Preto were aged in French oak barrels of different ages, and the rest in stainless steel vats.
Vineyards
Vineyards located at the Sub-Region of Terras de Senhorim between the Dão and Mondego rivers, planted between 400 and 500m of altitude in granite soils, with ages between 8 and 50 years old.
