Tasting Notes

Very elegant and refined, a modern style that fully preserves the soul of the Douro’s native grape varieties. Aroma that harmoniously blends the great concentration of Douro Superior reds in all their complexity. Berries, hints of rock rose, spices, exuberant violets and extremely fresh notes of basil and bergamot. The barrel ageing produced a wine with great aromatic elegance, where the scents of the Douro are not masked by excessive oak notes. Very smooth and ripe tannins, fresh and aromatic, very elegant, with an unusual long finish. A perfect wine to enjoy with food. Fantastic with Iberian smoked ham, roasts, game, smoked meats and other typically Mediterranean and intense dark meat dishes. Excellent with cured goat cheeses.
