"Deep ruby-black with a deep purple hue, slightly lighter on the rim. The nose is gently full with dense aromas of black olives, earth minerals entwined with plums, blackcurrants and barrel spice elements. Full-ish bodied, nuances of blackcurrants, plums flavours have good ripeness balance, interweave black olives, earthy minerals unfolding barrel spices. The wine is approachable with the bright fruit; fine-grained tannin extraction added structure and spice interest. Match with pulled-lamb shoulder and tahr pie over the next 5 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, Jun 2021
Ruby red in the glass. Delicate and complex. The elegant fruity flavor of cassis, blends harmoniously with hints of spice that add aromatic complexity. Captivating harmony between structure and flavors. Good acidity gives freshness and induces longevity. The tannins, elegant and well presented, extend the finish of this wine.
A red blend of Touriga Nacional, Aragonez and Castelão grown in the Cheleiros region of Lisbon in clay-limestone soils.
100% of the grapes are destemmed before undergoing fermentation for 8 days, in stainless steel, under controlled tempertures. Post-fermentative macerated. 30% of the wine is matured for 12 months in French and American oak barrels, and the remaining 70% aged in stainless steel vats. Aged for 6 months in bottle.
Named after the place where it all began, Pomar Espírito Santo offers an incredible journey. A full-bodied and extremely elegant red, with flavors of ripe fruit and jams. These flavours are combined with the more complex character of spices and a good structure results from oak aging.
Food Pairing: Baked meats and cheeses.
