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 lasted for six weeks. The malolactic fermentation follows and takes place in French oak barrels. The wine remains in barrel for 18 months. After several tasting of all the barrels idealised for this wine, the IDEAL barrels were chosen in order to compose a blend of harmonious and authentic wine.

Rich and complex with notes of black pepper combined with red and wild 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.
