Quatro Castas 2015

An annual challenge for the winemakers to find four grape varieties from that harvest which, combined, show a complex and well balanced wine with distinctive character and flavour.

Tasting Notes Violet aromas from the Touriga Nacional with mature plum notes from Trincadeira. The palate carries density coming from Syrah and Alicante Bouschet combined with the fresh and vibrant fruit from Trincadeira and Touriga Nacional. Combined provide a perfectly balanced wine, with a long and persistent finish.
Vinification/Maturation Fermentation with temperature control (22ºC-25ºC) in marble ‘lagares’ with foot treading, cement and stainless steel tanks. Aged for 6 months in cement tanks and french oak barrels, followed by 6 months in bottle before market release.
