Unoaked blend of Trincadeira, Aragonez, Touriga Nacional, and Syrah. Medium-high intensity nose is fragrant and open with a lovely mix of brambly, dark red cherry, raspberry, and plum aromas nuanced savoury minerals and earth. On the dry, medium+ bodied palate it is ripe with plummy, cran-cherry, raspberry, gentle spice, and earth flavours flecked with minerals. Acids are juicy and well-balanced, while the smooth & refined tannins have good structure. Gently grippy on the back palate, with plummy, dark cherry & earthy mineral notes lingering on the lengthy, succulent finish. Tasted Mar. 2025.

Simple, easy to drink but ultimately forgettable red from Alentejo. About what one would expect for $16. Drink now. Tasted Nov 2024.
