This red is a blend of 70% Touriga Nacional and 30% Syrah made by highly respected winemaker and consultant Rui Reguinga from a very stony, pebbly vineyard around 5kms north of the river Tejo. It was fermented in stainless steel tanks with a short, 4 day maceration on the skins to give a gentle, aromatic and easy drinking style of wine. It saw no oak.
Beguiling floral hints of roses and violets on the nose – typical of Touriga Nacional. On the palate this has juicy red fruit flavours with just a touch of wild spice and herbs. It is fresh, medium bodied and well-balanced, its tannins light and its 14.5% alcohol not intrusive at all. The finish is fairly short – this is not a serious wine but rather a very enjoyable “weekday” wine to be enjoyed with pizza or simple foods.
