45% Touriga Nacional, 35% Merlot, 20% Aragonez 2016
The two barrels of 2015 spent 2 years in the used barrels.
The single barrel of 2017 spent 6 months in the used barrel.
This wine is all about freshness and purity of fruit and flavour. Sour cherries and forest fruits with bright notes of the forest vegetation; wild mint, eucalyptus and pine resin. An extremely versatile wine to pair with food; excellent acidity, medium body and tannins, and lovely balance.
