Garnet-coloured wine, aromas with excellent definition where ripe red fruits and small forest berries predominate, with balsamic notes, some dark chocolate and camphor. On the palate, it has fine, elegant tannins, very present acidity that makes the wine very fresh, with a broad finish of great balance, ending strong and intense. It goes well with wood-fired dishes and traditional meat dishes from Alentejo cuisine.

The story

This location and its mesoclimate provide an unequalled terroir that you can taste in the wine. But to produce nothing less than great wines, this terroir must be matched by our obsession. This obsession to create something unique drives the producer to make no concessions in the vineyards to achieve the highest quality grapes possible. To do so, they drastically reduce production. More than 70% of the grape clusters are removed shortly after véraison so that those remaining gain additional structure and quality.

Red wine fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled French oak casks from Seguin Moreau cooperage. Barrels for maturation are only used for three years. The technical winemaking team is headed by the owner, João Lourenço.
