Tasting Notes: It has a very fresh and intense aroma, where the seductive aromas of violets and very ripe berries from the Douro stand out. In the mouth, very elegant and balanced, a lot of red fruit concentration, evolving into a wine of excellent volume and solid structure, presenting fresh tannins with a fine and elegant texture. A wine with a captivating, long and persistent finish.

Vinification: The technology is minimalist, using granite presses with mechanical treading.
