Merchant's description

With its violet colour and ruby hints, the Turris 2016 comes across astoundingly fresh and linear. Spicy aromas with notes of pink peppercorn and plenty of minerality mingle with hints of cassis and graphite from the schist soils. The palate impresses with electric tension and elegance as well as a lingering finish. The Turris 2016 is a wine which distinguishes itself through its complexity and the unique character of an ancient Douro vineyard. Pair with spicy dishes, pepper steak, and red meats.
