WINE DESCRIPTION
Discover this captivating red wine from the Tras-Os-Montes region in Portugal, crafted by a pioneering mother-daughter duo who started their venture in 2013. They revitalized 50 hectares of vineyards, quickly becoming the region's largest producer with a modest output of 100,000 bottles annually. This unoaked wine, fermented and aged in stainless steel, showcases deep, brooding black fruits that mirror the complexity of Mourvèdre. It features bright acidity and distinct chalky tannins, making it an excellent companion for rich dishes like lamb, steak, and hearty stews. A testament to artisanal winemaking, this wine offers a pure expression of its unique terroir.
