Learn More About This Wine

The grapes selected for this wine are from the Senhorim sub-region, where the age of the vines ranges between 30 and 60 years and are from mostly monovarietal vineyards. Typical grape varieties from the Dao are used in the blend; Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro and Jaen.

The alcoholic fermentation took place in thermoregulated stainless steel vats and lasts for approximately six weeks. The malolactic fermentation follows and takes place in French oak barrels. The wine remains in barrel for 18 months. After several tastings of all the barrels idealised for this wine, the IDEAL barrels were chosen in order to compose a harmonious and authentic blend.

Rich and complex with notes of black pepper, red and raw fruits, raspberry and cherry. The oak is well matched with some smoked notes. The wine also shows mineral aromas of wet stone. In the mouth it has claws and nerves, it is complex and has a great structure.

Food suggestions: pepper steak, red meat, game, cheese.
