Ratings:

94

A red blend composed of Touriga Nacional (60%), Touriga Franca (25%), and Tinta Roriz (15%) grapes, aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. In a warmer year like 2022, it shows good concentration of ripe red and black fruits, with its excellent acidity and tense, fine tannins providing fluidity to the wine and overall structure. Structured, yet harmonious and refined, it has a succulent and persistent finish with toasted, earthy, floral, balsamic, sweet spice, blackberry, and plum notes.

A blend of 60% Touriga Nacional, 25% Touriga Franca and 15% Tinta Roriz, aged for 18 months in mainly used French oak, with slightly longer maceration than the other reds in the range, this is super fresh and refined. It combines juicy red berry fruit with softening tannins and impressive elegance at its core. Clearly Douro in character yet remarkably precise and accessible, it balances structure and drinkability and it will continue to age well. 2026-2032

Product Description:

"Intense ruby color with striking aromatic intensity and complexity, highlighted by vibrant notes of fresh red fruits in perfect harmony with delicate traces of fine spices. Begins with elegance, revealing a wine of robust and well-defined structure, supported by silky-textured tannins. The overall impression is engaging and balanced, culminating in a fresh and persistently long finish. Crafted with the technological precision of Bordeaux-style winemaking and utilizing the emblematic grape varieties of the Douro—Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz—this wine faithfully captures the unique identity of the region."-Winery
