Description

Reviews and awards:
19 points Grandes Escolhas Wine;
18 points Wine Magazine.

The name Trufa (Truffle) was chosen because there are several analogies between this wine and a truffle. Both come from the Earth, are rare and exclusive. Both have a unique flavor and great quality. And both help to enrich and make a meal unique.
This wine is produced from old vines over 60 years old located between Régua and Pinhão, a blend of grape varieties from altitudes between 300 and 350 meters. It undergoes traditional vinification in lagares (traditional stone troughs) followed by 18 months of aging in French oak barrels.

Trufa has a very concentrated and intense aroma, with notes of exotic fruit. On the palate it is full-bodied, with notes of wild berries, with tannins still very present, but of great quality. It is very complex, fresh and persistent.

Winemaking:
Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.
