100 Hectares Superior Tinto

Description

This 100 Hectares Superior is undeniably a wine rooted in Douro tradition. The arrival of the grapes in small boxes, followed by complete délestage, signals a wine that’s both direct and concentrated. Maturation in new French oak – lending a pleasant toasted character – adds a layer of complexity without masking the beautiful fruit. It earned a respectable 16 points from a wine magazine, and rightly so: a well-balanced wine with notes of wild berries and cherries, underpinned by a hint of spice evocative of the oak barrels. Expect a full-bodied expression with firm tannins and a lingering finish – a wine predicted by critics to continue evolving beautifully in the bottle. Perfect with grilled red meats or a fresh river fish.
