Vinification Whole cluster fermented, light food treading, fermented on the skins for 20 days. The wine was pressed and combined with the free run juice.

Notes “Spicy, lifted fruit exhibiting the classic old vine, Evangelho character of strawberry jam. The palate continues with tart, tangy, earthy fruit and a peppery spicy finish with just a hint of tannins” Michael Cruse
