Xisto Roquette and Cazes 2013

€ 59.50

The red wine has a very dark core with an intense and bright violet-purple color on the edge. An intense complex aroma of fresh wild berries and soft roasted hints of wood and cocoa. The taste is full and elegant, fresh berries. The soft tannins and the very long and intense aftertaste make this wine a sensational wine.

In 2002, the Roquette family of Quinta do Crasto (Douro) and the Cazes family of Château Lynch-Bages (Bordeaux) decided to combine their experiences with the aim of producing a great wine that combines the natural and unique characteristics of the Douro with the experience of producing top-Bordeaux wines from the Cazes family for a century. The result is a stunning piece of craftsmanship that no one will miss when serving this wine.
