Grape varieties: Touriga Nacional
Alcohol Content 13.5%
Capacity 75cl
Tasting Notes: This wine has a ruby red color. It is an intense, complex and elegant wine. The notes of ripe black fruit, the delicate floral nuances and the touches of bush that add freshness, are very well involved in a set in which the barrel aging only adds more complexity. In the mouth it is harmonious and balanced, with soft tannin giving structure and strength to the wine. There are also aromas of sous bois, forest and fruit, aromas that remain in a long and persistent finish.
Pairing: It is a wine that invites you to the table, it is very gastronomic. I recommend it to be drunk with an octopus à lagareiro, an oven-roasted pork neck or a rice risotto.

Winemaking
Grapes from 3 different plots of Touriga Nacional were used, which were harvested separately. The grapes are unloaded from 20 kg boxes directly into the stemmer-crusher, falling by gravity into small stainless steel vats, equipped with automatic reassembly and temperature control. Alcoholic fermentation took place here for around 8 days, at an average temperature of around 27ºC. The Touriga Nacional from one of the plots remained in post-fermentative maceration for another 20 days.
Maturation
This wine spent 12 months in new French barrels and used 225 liter barrels. The final blend was prepared with the aim of expressing the high quality of Touriga Nacional, as well as the unique characteristics of the Dão Region. The wine underwent light fining and filtration before bottling. In order to preserve its highest quality, it was bottled without cold stabilization treatment, which can cause deposits to form during aging in the bottle.
