€ 11.75

This organic wine has a deep, concentrated ruby red color. In the nose you will find aromas of fresh red berries, plum and blueberries. On the palate, the wine has rich, fruity flavors, an elegant style, balance and persistence. Thanks to the Touriga Franca, the wine has body and flavor, well supported by the structure and acids of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Together these grapes provide a lively wine with a creamy texture and a long aftertaste

Co-fermentation of the different varietals in concrete tanks, controlled temperatures (22 to 25ºC), following malolactic fermentation.

Matured in concrete tanks for 6 months, with unique micro-oxygenation conditions provided by this type of tank aim to preserve the wine’s character, followed by minimum 4 months in the bottle.

The 2021 agricultural year was a rainy year. During the vegetative rest period (Autumn – Winter) precipitation values were higher than the average of the last 22 years, with temperatures remaining mild. These precipitation values led to the fact that, at the beginning of the vegetative cycle (Spring), practically all the soils had their water reserves completely reestablished. The budburst occurred earlier, and the higher temperatures observed during the Spring accelerated the vegetative development until flowering. In Summer, milder temperatures contributed to a regular development of the vegetative cycle, allowing maturation to take pace in a regular and balanced manner.
