2018 Vintage- Lurid ruby. Ripe black and blue fruits, cola, vanilla and potpourri on the deeply perfumed nose. Smooth and sweet on entry and then tighter in the midpalate, offering bitter cherry and blueberry flavors and hints of vanilla and spicecake. A smoky nuance emerges with aeration and carries through the long, gently tannic finish, which echoes the vanilla note.
Blend: 40% Aragones, 30% Trincadeira, 30% Alicante Bouschet
Three of the Alentejo's most familiar grape varieties—Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez and Trincadeira—go into this warm, rich and southern-feeling wine. Its fine tannins are merged with the black fruits and ripe acidity to give a powerful, concentrated and succulent wine.
