En cuvée lavet af alle godsets indfødte røde druesorter. En del blev gæret i lagares. Alle druesorter er modnet separat. Derefter lagret i 18 måneder på brugte barriques. Næsen er super udtryksfuld. Blommer, sure kirsebær, også lidt em-eucal og lakrids. Den æteriske smag kommer vidunderligt igennem. Den understøttes af en meget fin og subtil stenethed. Fløjlsagtig smag af moden rød frugt i munden, fine surkirsebær med ribs og slåen, alt sammen understøttet af subtile blomsternoter og et meget fint strejf af vanilje fra modning i nyt og brugt træ. Charmen er smuk, smigrende, silkeagtig og lækker. En vin, der faktisk passer perfekt til enhver situation. En af topvinene i vores sortiment, når det gælder forholdet mellem pris og nydelse.

Parker om: Vinho Tinto

The serious and austere 2020 Tinto is classical, balanced and harmonious with the freshness of the Chocapalha wines. It comes from a blend looking for those characteristics, and it matured in well-seasoned, neutral barrels to respect the purity of the wine. It was a little closed and took time to open up in the glass, delivering an elegant nuanced and serious wine. It is 35% Touriga Nacional, 25% Tinta Roriz, 25% Castelão, 8% Alicante Bouschet and 7% Touriga Franca. It has 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.49 and 6.15 grams of acidity. It's medium-bodied and balanced, classical with elegant tannins. It's evolving at a slow pace. It's an incredible value. 25,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024.

Suckling om: Vinho Tinto

Earthy, with aromas of sweet cherries, ripe blackberries and spices. The palate is full-bodied, fleshy and rounded, showing layers and length. A blend of 40% touriga nacional, 35% tinta roriz, 10% castelao, 10% touriga franca and 5% alicante bouschet. Drink now.

Tim Atkin om: Vinho Tinto

Blending five different grape varieties sourced from vineyards with varying soils and exposures, this wine captures the essence of its origins. Fermented in stainless steel and lagares before ageing for 16 months in neutral used barrels, it opens with appealing reductive notes followed by violet aromas and vibrant red berries. Plush yet energetic, it offers a touch of salinity that lifts the structure and results in an expressive and delicious red wine.
