Varieties: Touriga Nacional (53%), Tinta Roriz (27%), Touriga Franca (16%), Tinta Amarela (4%)
Vinification: The grapes were fully destemmed before undergoing fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 15 days at a controlled temperature of 22-24ºC. During the first 7 days, daily delestage (rack and return) was performed to enhance extraction.
Aging: The wine was aged for 16 months in second and third-year 500L French oak barrels, with two rackings during this period to further refine its structure and complexity.
Tasting Notes: Black fruit aromas of blackberries and cherries combined with mineral notes of graphite.
On the palate, focused with perfectly ripe and pure red and dark fruits. Tannins are bold combined with the right acidity. The minerality shows on the long finish. This wine has everything to age for many years in bottle.
