Deep, vibrant purple in colour with soft plum and mulberry fruit. This is lifted by spicy, earthy and slightly wild aromatics. The palate is supple and fruitforward, showing blue and black fruits, wet riverstone minerality, and gentle black pepper. Finishing with soft approachable tannins. A vibrant, aromatic expression of Touriga Nacional from the Tejo region, crafted with traditional foottreading and gentle microoxidation to highlight purity, fruit and freshness.

This wine spent 3 months in an Ovoide (Porous egg shaped deposit) to allow for gentle micro-oxidization. 30% of this wine was aged in 500L new French oak barrels for 4 months.
