Description
Intense ruby-purple colour. Exuberant and complex nose, with aromas of ripe fruit like blackberries and plum, and hints of dark chocolate and pink pepper. In the mouth it shows body, density and vigour, with firm yet polished tannins. Long finish, extraordinarily fruity and moreish. Touriga Nacionmal, Touriga France, Tinta Roriz 19%
Absolutely delicious with dark chocolate and wild berries desserts, mint chocolate
cheesecake and medium flavour cheese. Best served at a temperature between 16 and 18°C.
Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted
into wine through a process of careful maceration to extract their colour, tannins and
aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in vats
(lagares) at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C) until the right degree of sweetness
(baumé) is achieved. At this point, grape brandy is added to create the final fortified wine.
A wine of high quality, made from one single harvest, bottled 4 to 6 years after harvest.
