Soito Red 2016
Resulting from the blending of Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, Tinta Roriz e Jaen grapes, this wine presents a red with brick nuances colour and a delicate but complex aroma with expression notes of ripe red fruits, cassis and blackberry, married with a touch of black pepper, cocoa and vanilla. In the mouth it reveals a well-structured body with presence of firm tannins, good mouth volume, high refinement and persistence. It partially aged in French oak barriques for 9 months.
“Deep and potent, with blackcuurant, dusky violets, cassis filling the compact, potent frame. Tar, tobacco, leather coat the base, downy and fleshy, and frames with a fiercely thick wall of tannins. Intense through the sticky, lingering finish. (…) Tight and unyielding now in youth, this serious, big wine benefits from decanting and pairing with boar or lamb, and more so from cellaring.”
“Um grande vinho que parece ter sido feito com muito carinho e atenção. Aromas de frutas negras, chá, pinheiro, bacon frito, alcaçuz, resina e especiarias doces parecem saltar do copo. Um belo lote entre Touriga Nacional (70%), Alfrocheiro (15%) e Tinta Roriz (15%) exibindo muita concentração de frutas e complexidade Tem algo selvagem e um pouco parecido com um Syrah de clima frio com suas belas especiarias.”
