Elaboration

A red wine made in Portugal, made from selected Trincadeira grapes, transported in 20 kg cans and then subjected to a thermal shock in a cold room before being peeled. Fermentation at controlled temperatures with an extended period of maceration of the films will highlight the fruit aromas and will provide a good balance and a good structure of the tannins. Aged for 8 months in French oak barrels until bottling.

Taster´s notes

Intense ruby color, aromas of fresh red fruit, toast and vanilla notes. In the mouth it reveals a good acidity, elegant tannins and a persistent finish. The perfect combination with red meat, game, fatty fish and cheese. We suggest a serving temperature of 16-18ºC.
