Produced with grapes grown exclusively in Charneca soils*, from vineyards over 35 years old, harvested separately. The maceration was done in cold for 2 days, followed by the alcoholic fermentation with a controlled temperature of 23°C. The varieties were aged separately for 12 months in second-year American and French Oak barrels. The final batch is assembled and filtered before bottling.
*In the south of the Tejo River is the Charneca zone. The Charneca is a dry, flat area marked by poor, sandy soils that force the vines to struggle, and in turn produce more complex fruit. In this zone, higher temperatures compel the grapes to mature faster than in the rest of the Tejo region.
Producer: Quinta da Alorna
Winemaker: Martta Reis Simoes
Region: Tejo
Style: Red
Grape Varietals: Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes: Purple color. Intense aroma with notes of violets and ripe currant from the Touriga Nacional, with spicy hints from the Cabernet and complexity from the ageing in oak. Balanced round body sustained by the floral character and the flavours of ripe black fruits. The aftertaste is intense with excellent persistence.
