Intense pomegranate color. Aroma of currants and plums in syrup. Light chemical or pharmaceutical notes typical of this variety. On the palate, the freshness conferred by a vineyard near the Atlantic is the dominant note.
At approximately 200 meters altitude and about 10 km from the Atlantic Ocean, with a unique and exceptional terroir, we seek the most vibrant expression of Portuguese grape varieties, demonstrating their full potential for producing quality wines with great aging potential.
