Simple colourful and fruity reds with a light purple colour, smooth tannins, an airy palate with preserved acidity, and understated aromas of red and black fruits. Productive. Now marginal, surviving in a few heritage plots in France and preserved in varietal collections for its genetic interest. French black hybrid variety developed in the 20th century as a disease-resistant cross.

Grapes: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz.

Supple Touriga Franca and spicy Tinta Roriz as complement. Fresh mineral whites and creative modern sparkling.
The word of the wine: Reasoned (agriculture)
