Winery: Herdade de São Miguel /
A black-hued blend of Aragonez, Touriga Nacional and Trincadeira, this is powerful, rich and firmly packed with tannins as well as dense plum and wood flavors. Accents of spice and mint add complexity. The wine will benefit from 2–3 years of aging to soften and round out, but it’s drinkable now.
