Prova No 7 Materia Tinto 2022 is from a single plot on the Quinta and captures the authenticity of the land and the vineyard's natural care, with fruit taking the lead in a pure, honest expression of its origin.
Showing floral aromas together with blackberry and black cherry fruit which flow through to the palate with balance of structure and acidity. A great match to roast duck breast, wild mushroom risotto and aged cheeses like Manchego or Cheddar.

".... This comes from two blocks at 350 m elevation which is the sweet spot for reds on their property. One is Touriga Franca dominant, the other mainly Touriga Nacional, and they are co-fermented in a lagar and also large vats. Then the wine is aged in a 3500 litre foudre. Deeply coloured and concentrated with good structure and floral blackberry and black cherry fruit, with some grippy dark fruits on the palate as well as good structure and acidity. A rich, complete wine of real intensity. So tannic, this will need time. " 95/100 Jamie Goode
