Vintage 2022 | vino de la Tierra de Extramadura | from touriga nacional, garnacha tintorera and syrah | tasted the wine twice and on this third day from the fridge with blind finch and grilled courgette. Just lovely: velvety structure.

Vintage 2022 | Enormous expressive, roses and roses, I would like to smell the whole evening… the taste is velvety. So a very nice crowd pleaser, that also attracts wine buffs. Paired with a steak and mushrooms.

Capa y densidad media alta, en nariz buena potencia cacao amargo, fruta negra, vainilla. En boca goloso de entrada, paso equilibrado y final agradable y no muy pesado.

Harsh green and sour nose and palate. Too acidic, but some nice freshness. Light tannins. Portuguese varietals.

Great freshness from the start with nice floral nose. Fruity, lush, and easy to drink. A good pairing for burgers on the grill.
