Tasting Notes: A blend of Portuguese and international red grape varieties, the wine is fermented in traditional large stone lagars. After fermentation, the wine is aged in large clay amphorae, eliminating any introduction of oak tannins. The wine is rich, yet supple, with good quantities of black fruit, and traces of spice. The excellent weight and texture are balanced by the brightness of the fruit, as well as the lengthy finish. Outstanding.
