O Produtor, tasting note published in October 31st 2021
With its deep, intense garnet colour, this wine reveals aromas of jammy red fruit, spices and toasty notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and voluminous, with round tannins and a finish worthy of the best Portuguese wines. It is a fine example of the great traditional wines of Palmela.
