Winemaker's note: Based on the typical Alentejo Blend Trincadeira x Aragonez (TrAz!) in this field blend the ripeness is pushed throw the limit, with a selection of grapes in the vineyard and in the sorting table. The basis for ensuring that just which is very good goes to the tank. It is this transformation that results in a wine based on dense, high expression profile based on an alluring, engaging and marked elegance.
