Aroma: deep dark fruit, elegant floral lift

Palate: round and harmonious, clear structure, balanced close

A deep, elegant nose and a mouth the estate describes as round and harmonious, with the structure and balance of a small-lot Alfrocheiro Reserva.

What it pairs with

  • Braised oxtail
    A round, structured red without hard edges is what long-braised beef wants.
  • Pork cheeks in red wine
    The wine's balance keeps a rich braise from turning cloying.
  • Cured Serra da Estrela cheese
    The salt of the aged ewe's cheese sharpens the wine's dark fruit.
