Deep, intense garnet color. Lifted floral scent of rock rose (Esteva in the Douro) and Mediterranean shrubland. Attractive red fruit aromas meld with notes of clove and a hint of thyme. On the palate the wine is fleshy with full, fruit-driven flavors of plum and red fruits, mingling with spicy tannins that provide balance and structure. The wine is now drinking very well, especially if served with rich dishs.

Red Blend – 50% Touriga Franca, 20% Touriga Nacional, and 30% field blend./ ABV 14%

Description

It was a dry year with extremely low yields that were 20% below the 10-year average and compact bunches of excellent quality berries. The advanced growing season resulted in our earliest ever recorded harvest start date. We believe 2017 will long be remembered as a year of incredibly well-structured wines with stunning concentration, intensity, and balance.

Winemaking

The grapes are sorted with great care, de-stemmed and gently crushed. The fermentation temperatures and the maceration process, through pumping over and rack and return procedures, are closely monitored and adjusted for each individual fermentation, so that the wine can best reflect the innate quality and characteristics of the grapes earmarked for this wine. Sensory analysis determines the moment solids are separated from the free run juice, to produce a fruit driven red wine, with a medium structure, which ages 6 months in oak to complete its élevage, achieving the final profile to be bottled.

Storage & Serving

Store the bottle horizontally in a dark place with constant temperature, ideally between 55ºF. Although approachable now, this fine wine has the potential to develop superbly in bottle for another 2 to 3 years.
