Cool, fresh, good fruit, elegant, mainly stainless steel, non malo, subtle oak (part fermented and aged for 6 months in barrique). Should be able to last and develop its complexity.
Wonderfully fresh, fruity and floral, perfumed, strawberries, cherries, light but does not lack intensity, just a hint of bitters for balance, good length. Absolutely delicious.
Made from 100% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 14.5% ABV, aged for 1 year in American Oak tanks and for 2 years in Limousin barriques. Soft and ripe bright fruit, gentle tannins, drinking well, smooth and harmonious, elegant for its weight, hint of smoky oak, medium body, good length. A very stylish wine - there is more to this than meets the eye.
Beautifully balanced in every respect, as it marries age and youth, its lovely core of ripe velvety fruit with freshness, power with elegance; hint of mint, finely etched tannins, perfectly absorbed oak (one year in American Oak tanks, 2.5 years in 100% new Limousin barriques), very good length. Drinking well, will easily last another 15-20 years on its impeccable balance. There is a real sense of beauty about this wine.
Cooler year so not the usual richness and weight of fruit, but the briary, minty style is very typical for the vineyard; slightly herbaceous on the nose, bright flavours, medium weight, smoky oak, wonderful balance and silky length. Has another two decades ahead of it to develop futher complexity, constructed with real sensitivity. 14.2% ABV.
A blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Souzão, Tinta Bairrada, Tinta Madeira, Tinta Amarela and Bastardo, 18.5% ABV. Lovely sweet black fruit combined with a deliciously rich note of sweet honey, fresh and balanced, nice hint of spice on the finish.
