Description

Coelheiros red reveals the vigorous character of Alicante Bouschet while presenting the silky texture and density of Touriga Nacional.

TERROIR

The grapes come from the emblematic Vinha do Taco and Vinha da Sobreira. These vineyards are non-irrigated, and therefore have profound root systems which allows for a good maturation of the grapes.  

VINIFICATION

Fermented with indigenous yeasts to best express our vineyards and soils. Aged for one year in used barrels. 

AROMA AND PALATE

The nose reveals red fruit aromas with slight notes of spices and smoke. The palate has richness and density, showing a good balance between its acidity and fine tannins. It has a long and persistent finish.
