Drinking Window: 2018 - 2019
Nuno Cancela de Abreu has crafted a lovely quaffable rosé from a blend of Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro and Tinta Roriz, planted on clay soils in the Dão. The bold colour comes from six hours' skin contact, and the free run juice sees no oak, so the characterful red berry fruits shine. A tight structure and bright acidity.
