About the Wine

50% Merlot, 30% Cab Sauv, 13% Souzao & 7% Cab Franc Nestled within alluvial silty clay soils, this blend expresses a gentle and fruit-forward character. The grapes, thriving in these unique terroirs, impart their soft essence to the wine. Meticulously crafted, the fermentation process takes place in both stainless steel tanks and small open top fermenters, ensuring a delicate balance of flavors and aromas. Appearance: Deep ruby with a violet edge, hinting at its youthful vivacity and blended nature. Nose: A tapestry of ripe red fruits, particularly cherries and plums, woven with subtle floral notes and a hint of spice from the Souzão. Palate: The Merlot leads with a soft, fruit-forward rush, immediately followed by the structured boldness of Cabernet Sauvignon. The Souzão interplays, adding depth with its robust color and vibrant acidity, while the Cabernet Franc introduces a peppery nuance to the finish. Texture: A balance between the velvety texture from the Merlot and the firm tannic backbone provided by the blend, promising a wine with potential to evolve beautifully. Alcohol: 14.1%
