Production Details Old vineyards on the left bank of the Douro River, more than 70 years old, were planted at 4,500 vines/ha, trained by Guyot and Royat and situated from 150–500 m. Grapes were hand-picked and used as 100% whole bunches, with a short maceration in stainless-steel lagares under automatic treading. Malolactic fermentation began in old wooden vats, where the wine remained for approximately 22 months; the separate maturation field describes 22 months in used wooden barrels. Supplementary structured values are dry extract 26.80, volatile acidity 0.70, free SO2 22, total SO2 80, density 0.9912 and carbohydrates 0.9; the API response does not expose units for these fields.
Tasting Notes Red berries, cassis, flowers, graphite, liquorice and a subtle herbaceous note; structured and savoury with firm fine tannins, fresh acidity, depth and a long persistent finish
Food Pairing Spicy dishes, pepper steak, red meat, venison, or spicy vegetarian mushroom dishes
