Named after the place where it all began, Pomar Espírito Santo offers an incredible journey of the palates of Lisboa. A red, full-bodied and extremely elegant wine with flavours of ripe fruit and jams.
The combination of flavours is combined with the more complex character of spices and the good structure resulting from ageing in French and American oak barrels.
New Zealand 5-star (93 points) from Raymond Chan by Candice Chow
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. A blend of Touriga Nacional, Aragonez and Castelão from the village of Cheleiros, destemmed, fermented in stainless steel to 14% alc. Post ferment macerated, 30% aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months, 70% aged in stainless steel vats, further rested 6 months in bottle before release. 18.5/20 pts (93 pts) June 2021
