Herdade Da Capela

Red wine, Grande Reserva, 2016

Grape Varieties

40% Alicante Bouschet, 40% Touriga Nacional and 20% Syrah.

Tasting Notes

Garnet color. On the nose the wine shows ripe fruity aromas with a spicy background and dark chocolate notes, offering hints of the terroir and the French oak barrels ageing; resulting in a fine balanced wine. On the palate, it presents freshness, softness and a very long length finish with great ageing potential.

Vinification

The carefully selected grapes were vinified together using a pneumatic press. The fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and the wine was aged of fine lees for 3 months.
