Structured, elegant reds with a deep ruby robe, fine tannins and fresh acidity, featuring aromas of red fruits, black cherry, spices, dried flowers and balsamic notes. Very good ageing and oxidative maturation capacity. An essential component of great vintage Porto (one of the five classic recommended grapes) and dry reds of Douro DOC. Very late-ripening, low-yield native Portuguese grape, saved from near-disappearance.
