From our best vines, we selected the soundest and in the best state of maturity grapes to make this excellent wine.
These grapes were handpicked in late September, gently crushed and placed in an 8ºC “cold bath” for four days before fermentation.

Night mechanized harvest.
Full destemming followed by cold pass-over by the heat exchanger.
Fermentation in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature.
After fermentation 50% of the blend aged on French oak barrels for 9 months.

An intense colour on the bottle pulls you inside, while its mighty and enormous nose mesmerizes, layer after layer of spices, land, and tobacco – in a rich mature black cherry, cassis and blueberry jelly core.
Rich, rounded, luscious and mouth coated, it offers black cherry sweets on the mouth before moving on to more shinning red fruits.
Subtler caramel and sweet oak note finely complement the fruit.
The tannin`s enormous classic structure and steady acidity endure, to close on a spicy finale.

Ideal to pair at the table with roasted or grilled spicy meat, as the notorious Posta Alentejana.
It also combines finely with several types of cod dishes or merely with cheese and cured dry sausage.
