into small boxes. Manual selection of bunches on the sorting table. Complete
stalk removal followed by gentle crushing. Spontaneous co-fermentation in open tread granite tanks (
lagares), with smooth daily
pigeage or pumping over.
Post-fermentation maceration. Aged in light toasted Austrian oak
barrels and barriques (mainly used ones) for 12 months.
Wine not filtered nor stabilized through cold. It may
create deposit.
GrapesBlend of
traditional Douro grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga
Franca and Sousão.
Organically
grown vineyards (certified).
ColourIntense red ruby.
AromaYoung whilst intense, complex and elegant. Foremost aromas are floral (orange blossom, violets) and red berry (wild strawberries, gooseberries and raspberries) and pine forest with light notes of spices and toast.
TasteA soft and silky attack. Medium body. Fine structure supported by well-present tannins and bright acidity, engaged by excellent fruit affording a prolonged finish. Floral and balmy notes stand out in mouth conferring elegance.
The result is fresh.
