Tasting NotesDeep ruby colour. Great aromatic depth and character, with notes of eucalyptus, wild berries, liquorice, dried leaves and dark chocolate. Refined, intense yet delicate, mineral, with extraordinary purity of fruit. You can sense the schist, the surrounding forest and the freshness of altitude: a pure expression of the vineyard’s nature. An exercise in elegance and class from one of the Douro’s most iconic vineyards (indeed, one of Portugal’s and of the world).
