Ink, dark purple
The nose presents us a blackberry and plum fruit with a touch of spice.
A rich, intense and powerful wine. The palate is full of dark fruit and chocolate that persist to a long tannic finish.
Touriga Nacional (50%), Touriga Franca (30%), Tinta Roriz (20%)
Alcohol – 14,5% Total Acidity – 5,4(g/l) pH – 3,63
Our Grande Reserva is the wine we have the most fun making every year. It is also the hardest to make, yet the easiest! The easiest because we simply have to select the very best lots to blend and make it happen. The hardest because it is extremely difficult to achieve everything perfect from amazing fruit through harvest, vinification and aging. So many little details can go wrong, but yet, in the end, we have the challenge to select the very best barrels to include in this exclusive blend that will reflect the very best expression of our 2014 harvest. This wine will reward you if you keep it in your cellar for the next 2 decades, but if you decide to open it in the next 2 years, give it a quick decanting before serving to improve the aromas complexity.
