(12 x bottle case)
Pacheca Vale de Abraão reveals a deep violet color. It’s very elegant in aroma with significant black fruit notes, like blueberry and blackcurrant, being fresh at the same time with floral notes. In the mouth it’s concentrated with very rounded tannins, notes of chocolate and implicit freshness. Long and very persistent finish.
