Lua Cheia Em Vinhas Velhas

75 cl

Without a doubt one of the best value wines we have! When asked what the grape varieties were, the answer is always 'old vines'! Presumably, it is from some of the local favourites! Either way, this wine is full bodied and concentrated, yet still very fresh with ripe and round tannins. As on the nose, very aromatic palate with the same notes of blueberries and blackberries.

Wine Enthusiast 92 Points. ‘Getting past the heavy bottle, you find a structured and firm wine that has ageing potential. Dark and firm, with rich black-plum flavour and a concentrated texture, the wine is developing into a ripe, impressive wine. The mineral edge will integrate well over the next year.’
