A wine of noble and sophisticated profile, where Touriga Nacional brings floral elegance, Syrah reveals fine spice, and Alicante Bouschet provides depth. The aroma highlights black fruits, violets, cocoa, and light notes of wood. On the palate, it is silky and balanced, with polished tannins and a long, distinct finish. An intense and elegant wine, ideal for special occasions.
SOIL GEOLOGY
The soils where the vines that produce the grapes for Alfaiate wine grow are essentially very old schists, dating from the Lower Carboniferous period (ca. 300 million years ago). They are poor soils with an acidic reaction, in which the roots of the vines penetrate deeply through the cleavage planes of the schist to the cooler lower layers. Their dark colors absorb solar radiation, which is released as heat at night, allowing the production of very high-quality grapes.
