Information about "Thistle and Weed Nastergal Red Blend 2023"
Experience the allure of the Thistle and Weed Nastergal Red Blend 2023, skillfully crafted from Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Souzão, and Touriga Francesa. This intriguing blend presents a sensory journey of ripe mulberries and berries, accompanied by herbal nuances and warm spice undertones of cinnamon and pepper. Structured and complex, this red is a perfect companion for distinctive occasions.
Named after the Black Nightshade or 'Nastergal,' known for its deep purple berries, this blend honors its local roots.

After gentle pressing, the wine matures for eight months in older barrels.
