Best Douro Wine of 2008 Gold Medal! Douro is definitely one of the best wine areas in the world.
Single Estate. Only 3.100 bottles of Production. Produced from roughly twenty different grape varieties from vineyards older than 80 years. 18 months in French oak barrels and 12 months of cellaring in the bottle.
Deep ruby colour. A complex nose, elegant fruitiness, well integrated with the oak, revealing also some spicy notes. It is medium full body but intense, powerful and rich in the mouth, slightly herbal with elegant floral fruitiness, well balanced by the strong tannin structure. Super long and deliciously interesting finish. Indubitably an Amazing Douro Wine!
Drink at 17 Celsius degrees. Open 3h30 before drinking.
Perfect with a good red meat or roasted lamb or large game or quality cheeses smoked ham and smoked sausages.
