Tasting Note

Wide aromatic range, encompassing fig, rock rose, fennel, lavender, and a hint of dry pine needles. Full-bodied on the palate with expressive tannins that define poise and power, complemented by good levels of acidity, which deliver great balance. Vigorous, whilst graceful, with tension and grip suggesting good ageing potential in bottle.

Its complexity, velvety texture, and harmonious finish reflect the terroir's unique character. Crafted with expertly matured Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca grapes. This wine is an exceptional companion to hearty meat dishes. An undiscovered jewel in Douro's crown.
