O Produtor, tasting note published in June 22nd 2024
The final result showcases the solid nature of the Syrah grape, complemented by the tannins of Touriga Franca and the freshness and intensity of Alicante Bouschet. The wine is rich and full-bodied, with a medium-sweet, spicy palate featuring layers of fruit and oak, and tannins that deliver a solid finish.
A Regional Alentejano wine born from clay-limestone soils with rocky influences of granite and schist.
