The wine that includes Syrah in a broad blend of otherwise Douro varieties, is generous and brightly textured. Its ripe tannins and black currant aroma have touches of spice from wood aging and a good layer of acidity to give freshness. Drink from 2028.

Ripe Damson plums, licorice, dried hibiscus and black cherries on the nose, with a medium to full body, fine smooth tannins and a ripe, juicy finish. Firm and well framed. Delicious now, but can hold for a few more years.

Product Description:

On the palate, it is concentrated, with expressive fruity notes and a very evident freshness. The finish is long and complex, with tannins that balance the wine exceptionally."-Winery
