This organic wine has a deep ruby red color, an aroma of raspberries and juicy black currants, mint and white flowers. it is a powerful, full-bodied red wine with ripe and soft tannins and a nice, fresh aftertaste.
The grapes harvested by hand come from a small certified organic plot of slate. This wine is aged in the "sur lie" barrel for 6 months. If you like Syrah Rhône red wines such as, Crozes-Hermitage & Vacqueyras then you are a fan of this wine and that of the first minute. A great addition to a slow but surely growing range of organic Portuguese wines
