A red wine with a deep-ruby color, this wine presents itself with a great complexity in the nose. Very rich aroma of ripe fruits like plum and blueberries and some floral notes, well integrated with notes of herbs from the French and American oak barrels. In the mouth, this wine shows a great complexity with notes of plums and blue berries. Savory spice details chime in on the finish. The aftertaste is rich and elegant
Food pairing 
Excellent wine for hearty spiced meals with red grilled or roast meat, lamb and game dishes
 
Grapes: Syrah 30%, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) 30%, Touriga National 30%, Alicante Bouchet 10%

Critics & Awards

3,8/5 - Vivino (7.014 reviews)

87/100 - Wine Enthusiast Tasted: Apr 2022

Given its name, this is an elegant wine with layers of tannins and black-plum fruit flavors in balance. Generously textured, this wood-aged wine will be ready from 2023. Roger Voss
