TASTING NOTES
Grown all over Portugal this variety is ideally suited to our region. It is late ripening and fairs very well in warm weather.
Carefully selected grapes were macerated at cold temperature before being trodden by foot in traditional stone lagares. The wine then spent 3 months in a Ovoide (Porous egg shaped deposit) to allow for gentle micro- oxidization.
Vibrant deep purple in colour, soft plum and mulberry fruit, spicy, earthy and a little wild.
This wine is unoaked to hight- light the aromatic characters of the variety.
