Tasting Notes

This wine has a delicious full flavour of soft fruits such as raspberries and redcurrants. The wine is made from selected grapes and this is evident from the superb balance between is qualities of smoothness, ripe fruit and youthful freshness. João Paulo Martins; Vinhos de Portugal 2016; "Tasted in 2015. A kind of tribute to storks occupy the roofs of the company. Made in equal parts, Pinot Noir and Syrah. Very well in color, slight but very attractive, with ripe fruit but in a slim profile. The whole show is very easy and elegant in the mouth, are those reds that are greedy and feel like drinking. With a passage in the refrigerator, of course."
