Notes on Production
Produced from Alicante Bouschet, Petit Verdot, Trincadeira and Tannat varieties. Foot trodden in a traditional stone open fermenter (lagar) with indigenous yeasts.
Tasting Notes
A deep and dense mixture of balsamic, dried red and black fruits backgrounded with graphite-tinged minerality. Texture is polished, continuous and velvety in the mouth. Richly endowed with expansive fruit at mid-palate. Firm, fine tannins develop on tongue and inner lips. Acidity seems soft initially, but rushes in at the end. Big and long and very purely fruited. A seriously impressive wine for long term ageing.
Food Pairing
Beef, Lamb, Veal, Poultry
Notes
On the bottle is hanging a clay pendant which implies this wine is aged in clay.
