• Colinas De Sao Lourenco Calcario03 showcases a deep ruby colour with an opaque core. The nose opens with inviting aromas of dark forest fruits, cedar, leather, and hints of graphite, all adding to its complexity
• This full-bodied red boasts firm yet polished tannins and a vibrant acidity that enhances the wine's length and depth
• The palate offers a beautiful mouthfeel, leading to a long mineral finish that captures the essence of its limestone soils

Located in a unique Atlantic-influenced climate. The vineyards are protected by the Caramulo and Bussaco Hills, creating an ideal setting for high-quality red wine production. The estate spans 61 hectares, featuring clay-limestone soils that contribute both minerality and structure to the wine. Dry-farmed vineyards allow for concentrated, expressive fruit, and the winery's gravity flow system further preserves the purity of these flavours.

This blend comprises 50% touriga nacional, 20% cabernet sauvignon, and 30% merlot, offering a balance of native and international varieties. While delightful now, this wine from Portugal will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 10-15 years, revealing even greater complexity and elegance.

Pair this wine with roasted meats, aged cheeses, or richly flavoured dishes to complement its structured body and mineral undertones.
