Darker currants

The delicious and energetic middle weight flavors possess plenty of minerality and solid midpalate density before culminating on the lingering finish that also displays a trace of dryness

The palate is concentrated with a fine bead of acidity

with a lick of boot polish

Taylor, Vargellas other_regions Darker currantsEmpty bottle 600 g. 25% Touriga Nacional, 75% other grape varieties. Quinta de Vargellas was purchased by Taylors over a century ago. The grapes were crushed, not destemmed, macerated and fermented in stone lagares or stainless steel tanks for three to four days with skins at approximately 25 C. Fermentation was stopped with grape spirit and the wine was then aged in large oak vats for two years before spending a further 80 months in bottle. Winemaker
