Description
A blend that changes slightly each year, the last few vintages of this wine have been on fire. Beautifully defined dark fruit (there always seems to be a generous lick of cassis in this wine, even when the Cabernet component is actually quite modest), just a frame of toasty oak (although that roasted Alentejo character amalgamates with that too), and just enough Alicante crunch to keep it all fresh and energetic.
Older vintages are still drinking well, and with the improvements in this great value wine, there’s no reason more recent vintages won’t last even longer.
COLOUR: Deep ruby hue with violet hints.
AROMA: Very ripe red and black fruits (mulberry, raspberry and plum), integrated with
spicy and balmy notes, such as pepper, mint and coconut.
PALATE: Well-balanced, round, rich taste of fruits and spices, nice structure of smooth
tannins.
Grape Varieties Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah
Pair with Mediterranean food in general, pasta, lamb, poultry and soft cheese.
