Description of the Vineyards
Located at an altitude of 300 meters, Syrah originates from the Sobreira de baixo vineyard, which is at the base of the slope and benefits from northwest exposure and next to the Arraiolos stream. Touriga Nacional comes from the Cabido vineyard, with clay-sandy soils.
Vinification
The grapes were harvested manually into 25Kg boxes and immediately transported to the winery where they were stored in the cold chamber for 24 hours. This was followed by grape selection, pneumatic pressing and decanting. Alcoholic fermentation began in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts. Part of the batch was racked to complete the fermentation in 500L barrels. The fine lees were kept in contact with the wine.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, the floral exuberance with notes of violet stands out, complemented by fresh red fruits and a touch of citrus. On the palate, it is vibrant and balanced, with a refreshing acidity, crunchy texture and a long, persistent finish. Versatile and sophisticated, it is ideal as an aperitif or to accompany light dishes such as ceviches, salads and carpaccio.
