✨ In the Glass
Deep ruby red with vibrant clarity, revealing the depth and richness Douro reds are known for.

👃 On the Nose
An aromatic tapestry of spice and earth: think truffle, sous-bois, cracked pepper, and a touch of cinnamon. Accents of red fruit, resin, and balsamic notes add intrigue, while a whisper of stony minerality and subtle oak lingers in the background.

💫 On the Palate
Silky and harmonious. The wine glides across the palate with soft yet structured tannins, generous volume, and bright notes of red fruit and spice. Every element—from fruit to wood—is beautifully integrated, leading to a long and balanced finish.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Sublime with herb-crusted lamb, duck breast with cherries, wild mushroom risotto, or Portuguese pork and chestnut dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Ready to enjoy now but will evolve gracefully over the next 8–10 years.
