Blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Francisca, Tinta Barroca, Souzão, Tinto Cão, Tinta Amarela and old vines. Beautiful auburn color, indicative of its extended aging in wooden casks. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of dried fruits such as raisins and prunes, complemented by notes of walnuts, dried apricots, and a subtle hint of vanilla. These are further enriched by nuances of honey, toffee, and a touch of spice. The palate is harmonious and balanced, with flavors of dried apricots, walnuts, dried fruits, toast, coffee, and chocolate. Secondary notes of vanilla and caramel add depth, while tertiary flavors of clove and subtle oak spices emerge with time. This wine showcases medium acidity, medium body, and a smooth, lingering finish.
Food Pairing: sweet desserts, mature and hard cheeses, or blue cheese. It also pairs wonderfully with fruit-based desserts, nuts, orange marmalade, and dried fruits.
