A blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roiz and Tinta Cao grapes that has a deep, ruby-red color. The broad and complex bouquet has scents of prune, blueberry, blood orange, incense, resin, black pepper, cloves and sweet tobacco. These are then followed by nuances of artichoke and ginger. The mouthfeel is saline, fresh and vertical with young, compact and polished tannins that are still evolving, underscored by the great acidity that ensures elegance and harmony. An austere, excellently made wine that will win you over with the first sip.
