- Aroma & Palate: Our Enóloga wines represent uniqueness and the best qualitative expression of each year. In 2017, we were privileged with an excellent harvest of Arinto and Fernão Pires, two grape varieties that have a special synergy when combined. These wines aged for 12 months in 500-liter French oak barrels. The best barrels were then selected to create the special blend that gives rise to our Enóloga. This wine is the result of the "Maximum Attention" that our winemaker, Maria Vicente, pays to each wine and, in this case, to each barrel. Incredibly complex and structured on the nose with aromas of aromatic green apple and toasted dried fruit. The palate is full, yet well-defined and balanced, with persistent acidity that lingers in a long and elegant finish. This is an ode to the 2017 harvest...
⏳ Potential for Evolution: This wine is ready to drink at launch and will continue to deepen in complexity over the next 10 years.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: A beautiful wine to accompany roasted poultry or grilled seafood. Excellent with roasted guinea fowl with chanterelles or grilled langoustines with herb butter.
