Long skin maceration followed by one year in French Casks and two years of bottle aging at our cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Description:
On the nose we have a creamy and smooth impression, with rich vanilla-scented berry fruits, and notes of strawberry coulis and some background coffee and spice. On the palate this is quite an intense, concentrated wine, with a very dense fruit quality that is creamy and thick, and a big, strapping, spicy tannin and oak background. That dense creaminess of texture persists, and with good balance into the finish, this powerful wine stays grippy and focused.
Paring:
Perfect 'wedding' with stews and meat sauces, lamb shank.
