O Produtor, tasting note published in February 14th 2022
With a deep dark opaque colour, this choice within each variety's vineyard reflects well the balance and complement between the two varieties, Touriga Nacionaland Syrah. In the tasting it presents ripe black fruit with vegetable, floral and spicy notes. The ageing in both barrel and bottle has provided a profile of fine structure with polished tannins but present, providing a tension in the mouth that makes it perfect for complex dishes.
