Dark purple. On the nose fresh boysenberry, blackberry, plum and blueberry are commingled with a ferrous mineral note and wild notes of beef blood, anise and rose petals. On the palate it's intense and lush, but light on its feet. The blue and black fruit are framed beautifully by fresh flowers and slate-tinged minerals. It finishes long, with a whiff of white pepper. A testament to the talents of winemaker António Maçanita and his mission to make the best wines in the Alentejo.
 
Food pairing
This is a versatile wine. The lush fruit profile pairs very well with roasted and grilled meats, but the low alcohol levels and lack of oak tannin make it a fine pair for lighter fare like charcuterie and cheese but also fun with strong flavours, like in southeast Asian fare.
