Tasting Notes: It is Quinta do Zambujeiro's top-of-the-range wine, the essence of the best vineyards and the competence of our team. A wine for special moments, opulent and structured, solid, with a lot of fruit extract and creamy, due to its very polished tannins. Aromatic bouquet, with floral notes, wild fruits, cedar, toasted barrel and black tea.
