Borges Lello 2016 Tinto
€ 7.00
A wine with a deep ruby color. A floral young aroma with notes of peppermint and eucalyptus, surrounded by vanilla
from aging in wooden barrels. The whole is complex, with a discrete and well integrated
wood scent and taste. A voluminous and balanced acidity in the mouth, soft tannins, in a persistent aftertaste. Stunning representation of the modern style of the Douro
Food-Pairing

Grapes: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca & Tinto Cão
Complete de-stemming. Short pre-fermentation maceration followed by pomace fermentation

After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is separated from the solids with which it fermented and malolactic fermentation is induced. Part of the wine is aged in stainless steel vats and another part in French oak for 4-6 months.
