Intense and very complex on the nose, with notes of fresh red fruits, spices, tobacco and quality barrel surrounded by a mineral and smoky background. On the mouth the first edition of Vale Travessos red is dominated by a great elegance and finesse, the good structure is balanced by silky tannins and a very vivid acidity that end up granting the wine a very long and refined finish Great potencial for keeping.
Manually harvested grapes to 12kg boxes and carefully selected at the choosing table. Fermentation in open 500L barrel, with some stern. 18 months staging in 300L new French oak barrels.
