Tasting note
Aromatic yet well-structured Portuguese red, laced with plums and blackberries, with a beguiling whiff of violets on the nose.
Viticulture
Vines are planted on residual granite and metamorphic sedimentary soils.
Vinification
Hand-picked grapes are chilled through the night, then cold macerated for 2 days before fermentation at between 20 and 25 degrees C for 14 days. Wine is then left to mature in stainless steel tanks for 12 months before bottling.
Food Match
Great with grilled meats or spicy food.
