Description
This is a delightful expression of the Douro’s finest terroir. It comes primarily from the high-altitude Lamelas vineyard planted by Tim Berqvist over 30 years ago. The schist soils and extremely varied topography yield rich, full-bodied wines that have remarkable acidity, minerality and freshness. The nose offers inviting aromas of raspberry syrup and plums, accented by a touch of smoky spice.
The palate is wonderfully balanced, with a lively interplay between juicy fruit, silky tannins and refreshing acidity. Matured for 12 months in French oak, the wine is elegantly structured; layers of flavour unfold with every sip. It’s approachable yet complex, with a finish that lingers beautifully. Enjoy this with grilled lamb or duck breast.
