O Produtor, tasting note published in January 14th 2022

Intense ruby color. The nose brings the diversity of traditional vineyards. Spicy, with notes of black pepper, tobacco, and eucalyptus. Ripe black fruit, reminiscent of the high temperatures experienced during the maturation of the grapes. Good mouthfeel with expressive fruit. Mature, textured tannins, with a fresh and persistent finish.
