Concentrated ruby red color. It comforts from the first moment with its cheerfulness, its minerality, its seductive fruit which is divided between red cherries, currants and plums, accompanied by discreet floral sensations. It's a determined red wine but soft, deeply mineral, intense but elegant and fresh, with an endless aftertaste.

In 2020 we enjoyed long, slow ripenings which our vines, from our

best plots, took advantage of to provide grapes with an exemplary balance between acidity and tannins. The three grape varieties that once again benefited from nature's exceptional kindness were Syrah, Alicante Bouschet and Touriga Nacional, providing grapes in perfect ripeness. With such good raw materials, we preferred to work them little and let the grapes speak for themselves. That's why we did little more than tread the foot in our lagares, according to the region's most traditional methods, followed by aging in new barrels and second-year French oak barrels, allowing the wine to express itself in the purest way.
