Body - Medium
Style - Smashable
Touriga Nacional 40%, Aragonez 30%, Alicante Bouschet 20% and Trincadeira 10%. Deep ruby colour. Mace spice relieves the vanilla and black cherry density you expect here. Fluid, with good presence, but balanced without any sense of heftiness. Soft, dry, shapely, with nice structure, fresh, clean and great value. The wine has a lovely order: earthen-floral smells of the place gain skins, then fruit richness flowing along a tannin-leather thread, then tapering to finish acid-fresh and lovely. - Importer Notes.
