“This blend of Portuguese varieties has come together seamlessly and offers immediate drinking appeal. Heady with violets and lavender, blackcurrants and Szechuan pepper, blackstrap licorice and Mediterranean herbs, all adding to its youthful beauty. Fine tannins, raspberry-like acidity and complexity raise it way above ordinary.” – Jane Faulkner, 2022 Halliday Wine Companion.
Fruit was sourced from 1990 New Territories planting of classic Portuguese grape varieties on a rocky terraced hillside.
