Bright, clear purple-crimson.  The blend of sousao, graciano, touriga naçional, tinta cao and tempranillo offers a fragrant bouquet of spicy black and red cherry fruits.

A light to medium bodied palate with savoury tannins built into the wine from start to finish.  Overall, an elegant wine.

There’s a lot going on with the Cinque as each of these varieties – which make excellent single varietal wines – come together beautifully.  It’s hard to describe in a few words but it's like that magical thing that happens when a group of old friends get together and bring out the best in each other – except in a bottle.
