TASTING NOTES
Ruby colour, with fresh wild berry fruit aromas and balsamic notes. Soft and elegant mouth, with well
balanced freshness and structure. A gastronomic wine.
VINEYARD
The grapes were sourced exclusively from Palácio da Anadia vineyards, located at the count of Anadia
chateau in Mangualde, 500m altitude, on a granit soil plateau, surrounded by the Dão natural reserve
forest, with abundant pine, cedar and oak trees. In the property, the most planted varietal is Touriga
Nacional, the star variety of the Dão Wine Region.
2018 VINTAGE REPORT
2018 was marked by a cold winter, a rainy spring followed by a hot summer season. The combination of
these factors resulted in well balanced grapes with good acidity and ripe tannins.
WINEMAKING
The grapes were handpicked at optimum ripeness point and transported to the winery in 20kg crates.
After destemming and soft pressing, the musts endured a cold settling, after which, having reaching
the required clarity, were then fermented for 9 days in stainless steel temperature–controlled tanks. The
wine matured 12 months in tank and several months in bottle before being released to the market.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
The perfect harmony with gastronomic meals, particularly game, and oven roasted meats. Serve at 16–18°C.
