Tasting Note

Deep purple in colour. With an extraordinary aroma intensity, the nose shows wild berry fruit notes in perfect harmony with elegant hints of spice and cocoa. The palate starts in an enchanting way, leading to a textured wine that has excellent volume and a solid structure made of velvety, lingering tannins. Lots of complexity and depth to the end. This is a terroir wine that perfectly reflects the pure essence of its provenance, the Vinha da Ponte vineyard.
