Tasting Note
The wine has beautifully perfumed fruit and spice aromas, reminiscent perhaps of Côte Rôtie or even of Château Cos d'Estournel. It's intense and vibrant, with velvety texture and so-subtle oakiness.
Enjoy it immediately with grilled lamb or steak, or tuck it away for up to four years.
Yum!

Winemaking
From the Quinta da Cabreira property in the Douro Superior sub-region, the vines are planted on Schist soil in 'Patamares' (terraces) and 'vinha ao alto' (rows planted up and down the slope). The grapes were taken to the winery in plastic boxes and rigorously inspected on a sorting table on arrival. They were then completely destemmed and slightly crushed. After this, the must was transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
Press
-
Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca dominate. Dark crimson. Smoky, savoury and beautifully refined. So dark but so alive and elegant, slides elegantly across the palate with paper-fine texture.
