Description

A Douro red with less intense colour and more moderate alcohol than the region's traditional reds. With an excellent balance between acidity, alcohol and tannin. A singular wine made from old vines, with around 20 native Portuguese varieties including Alvarelhão, Rufete, Tinta carvalha, Tinta da Barca, Tinta francisca, Alicante bouschet and others not identified.

Grandes Escolhas: The name is fitting, as it truly departs from the Douro "convention", both in its grapes (Tinta Carvalha, Tinta da Barca, Rufete, Cornifesto, Tinta Francisca and many others) and in its style. Deep and complex on the nose, light and firm at the same time, with earthy notes and plenty of spice, an unusual freshness on the palate; vibrant, full of character and elegance.
