Description

Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional and Aragonez from Alentejo, Portugal

Taste Profile: Dark ruby coloured. Dark ripe berries and notes of spices from its barrel maturation. Firm tannins, concentration and freshness. Long and lingering finish

Winemaking Process: Manual harvesting. In the winery, the grapes were selected on a vibrating sorting table, and destemmed with a light crushing of the berry. Fermentation took place in mechanical basins and oak vats with intense maceration at a controlled temperature. The wine matured in French oak barrels for 9 months, followed by 8 months in bottle
