This is a beautifully structured red wine and it captures the wonderful flavours that come from the Douro Valley.

Experts say

91 points Wine Spectator. “Powerful, with concentrated slate and mineral notes to the dark currant, dried berry and raspberry ganache flavours. Very lithe mid-palate, with a long focused finish.”

Silver medal at International Wine Challenge 2015 “Fresh, ripe wine offering brambles and fruit over a plate of chewy tannins. A true Douro creature.”
