PRESS COMMENTS & ACCOLADES

Wine Enthusiast

93/100
Reviewed on January 2018

This is a wine that is already so well balanced while also having an intense structured future. It is powered by tannins and by a dark concentration of its structure and its powerful black fruits. Drink this wine from 2028.

Winemaking Details

Viticulture:
2016 was another atypical year. The winter was warmer, January and February wetter. The spring months were cooler than normal but also extremely rainy. Then came a hot dry summer and a dry harvest period which began mid-late September, after a welcome light rainfall that gave the grapes that last bit of freshness before harvest.

Fermentation:
Fermented in stainless steel tanks for 5 days, with maceration occurring at up to 28ºC. 100% destemmed grapes. Unfiltered.

Winemaker:
Cláudia Quevedo

FOOD PAIRING

Chocolate, blue cheese
