- Origin
- Vinho Verde DOC, Vinho Verde (Baião), Portugal
The vines grow on granitic soils at low altitude on south-facing terraces on the right bank of the Douro, at the south-eastern edge of the Vinho-Verde region. The Reserva Tinto is documented as being matured in French oak casks; a technical sheet for the 2007 bottling specifies 17 months. The wines show dark berry fruit, cassis and blackberry, along with spice notes such as clove and black pepper. On the palate they are soft and fresh, with silky tannins, balanced body and a long finish. A vintage sheet also describes notes of tobacco, cedarwood, chocolate and liquorice.
