(more than 30 grape varieties). With moderate alcohol levels, his wines, which are more infused than extracted, have very pure aromatic expressions supported by delicate structures.

Delicate on the palate, Tinto is full-bodied and luscious with delicious fruitiness. A very fine entry-level wine, predominantly made from black Alfrocheiro grapes.
