Decant for several hours to allow the wine to open up and reveal its full range of flavours and aromas. Enjoy on its own as a  or pair with strong cheeses, dark chocolate, or rich, decadent desserts.

This year began with a very wet spring which was welcome after the dry conditions of 2015 – which meant that the ripening season started late and on around the 11th of July, there was an onset of very hot and dry weather which continued until mid-September. The picking at Quinta da Roeda began on the 17th of September.
