  Conhecendo mais uma safra deste corte de Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz e Sousão com estágio de 12 meses em barricas de carvalho francês. Alc. 14% vol. Mais uma vez em muito bom nível, expressivo, estruturado, harmonioso e já bastante acessível apesar de jovem. A conferir como evolui.

  Well-balanced wine from the Upper Douro region, a blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Souzão, sourced from different vineyard plots in the ‘Quinta da Cabreira’ estate. Aged for twelve months in French oak barrels. Intense dark red in color with purple highlights. Captivating nose revealing scents of black cherry, wild berries, violets and hints of tobacco and leather. On the palate: a dense and quite powerful wine displaying rich plum and blackberry fruit, a fine acid structure and already well-rounded tannins. Lingering aftertaste with some herbal nuances. The wine will benefit from an hour in the decanter before serving. Drinking window: 2023–2027.
  
  Fraai uitgebalanceerde wijn uit de streek van de boven Douro, een blend van Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz en Souzão, afkomstig van verschillende wijngaardpercelen van het domein 'Quinta da Cabreira'. Twaalf maanden gerijpt in Franse eiken vaten. Intens donkerrood van kleur met paarse schakeringen. Stevig bouquet met aroma’s van zwarte kers, wilde bessen, viooltjes en wat sporen van tabak en leder. In de mond: een dichte en vrij krachtige wijn met rijk pruimen- en bramenfruit, een fijne aciditeitsstructuur en al mooi versmolten tannines. Degelijke afdronk met wat kruidige nuances. Decanteer de wijn best een uurtje op voorhand. Te drinken: 2023–2027.

  Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Souzao
  
  Medium body, deep purple colour. Complex aroma of wild fruits, tobacco, leather and forest floor. On palate black currants and plummy following by rounding and juicy finish of good length. Rich enough, elegant and harmonious, wild berries acidity and grippy tannins. Food friendly, enjoyable with cabbage rolls stuffed by rice and spices. Serve 18ºC - 20ºC. Requires four hours of slow aeration. Drink now and next six years.

  Fyldig med preg av mørke bær, krydder med en fast ettersmak.
