Description

Right then, let’s have a look at this one. This wine certainly lives up to its bold name – it throws itself at you with a straightforward approach. The grapes, transported in boxes, are crushed with a healthy dose of enthusiasm, and fermented in an open lagar where temperature is monitored with Swiss-level precision. The subsequent aging in American oak barrels adds a welcome layer of elegance to its initial power, all thanks to the prominent Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz. It’s a wine that’s clearly aiming for a grand pairing with a hearty beef roast.
