The grapes were sourced primarily from Quinta de Roriz and the balance from Quinta da Perdiz and Cima Corgo and then aged in 400-liter French oak barrels for 6 months.
I should also point out that the 2021 vintage was excellent and as good as the 2019 vintage- a vintage considered one of the best.
The nose is all raspberries and dark cherries with a hint of plum and tobacco.
The palate is silky smooth showing impressive depth and complexity, especially for a wine so budget friendly. This wine has a charm about it that is revealed in layers of raspberries, blackberries, plums, and dark cherries with traces of black currant, oak, and dark chocolate.
This will cellar until 2030 with confidence.
Food pairing get back to the old adage, ‘if it grows together, it goes together’. Arroz De Pato, Bifanas, Francesinha, and Carne De Porco à Alentejana just to name a few. Spend some time exploring, try something new.
