Finally a med bodied lighter red wine in Portugal! This is red fruit with enough acidity to refresh with each sip. A long finish with a flash of spice — 8 years ago

Blanco fermentado en barrica 5 meses. De color amarillo pajizo. De nariz intensa, frutos blancos, recuerdos a cítricos y un toque tostado. En boca, buena entrada, fresco, untuoso y muy buena acidez final. Es largo y persistente. Me gustó — 9 years ago
