Herdade da Maroteira 2020 Tinto Dez Tostões

€ 14.50

Concentrated ruby red color. It presents an intensely complex nose with notes of black forest fruits and spices. In the mouth there is a first full and warm attack, full of aromas and with very present tannins melting into a beautiful and long finish

On January 19, 1919 at 1:00 PM, the royal blue and white flag was raised in a defiant act of the restoration of the monarchy, which had been abolished in 1910. In preparation for the restoration, the Tostões currency was created as the successor to the Voyage. However, the coin was never issued as the revolution failed and the republic was restored on February 23, 1919.
