The appearance – as precious as a ruby – makes you want to get to know it. The intense aroma of wild fruits increases curiosity. The blame lies with the fruity character of the Tinta Roriz, Touriga-Franca and Touriga Nacional varieties. They are what make up this reserve wine, the result of a combination of different harvests aged at least 5 years. It is mature, full-bodied and, on the palate, the most passionate.
