Viticulture
The clay loam soils where it is planted allow the Touriga Nacional variety to display its attributes. This balance between quantity and quality, together with a mild climate, has made it possible to obtain a raw material of excellence. The Touriga Nacional grape variety is one of the most emblematic Portuguese red grape varieties that has found in our terroir the conditions that allow it to express two of its main characteristics: freshness and elegance.
Tasting Notes
Very appealing ruby color. Aromas of black plum, cassis, cherry with discreet nuances of violet and balsamic. Subtly notes of vanilla and spices emerge. It is captivating for its silky texture while still being vibrant and firm. The feeling of freshness and elegance accompanies a long saline finish.
Vinification
Manual harvest for 15 kg boxes. 4 days of pre-fermentative maceration followed by alcoholic fermentation for 10 days at 24ºC.
