O Produtor, tasting note published in March 24th 2017

With deep violet tones, it presents notes of ripe black fruit, such as blueberries and plums. Slight smokiness adds complexity to the aroma. It is a full-bodied, voluminous wine, with well-marked tannins that provide a high potential for evolution. A wine to keep.

Principal

It is called Principal and, in the range of products of the Colinas de São Lourenço estate, it represents the line of superlative wines, of bottles that aspire to be excellent and that best define the most daring ambitions of its owner.
Carlos Dias’ objective becomes quite other, and rises, for an enigmatic reason, to a paradigmatic opening to the themes and values that he cherishes most. Wine may not exactly be a noble value, absolutely main, but it may be a testimony of virtues and feelings that govern life. Thus, as in a riddle that recalls distant links between the implicit that explains and the explicit that implies, on the label of these wines, under the term Principal, symbols that involve a special meaning are concealed.
Emblematic symbols that hold an attraction for a particular value and emphasise the universal valence of each of these eight motifs.
