Sophisticated from the start, it conveys the dimension of the Douro in every drop, flooding it with a generous mix of fruity, dense and spicy aromas, silky textures, fine tannins and a firm structure, revealing the right element of gravity. A very balanced, long and highly focused finish. Grainha is the seed of the grape vine which is responsibility for preserving its characteristics so that life can flourish - the essence of nature. Inspired by the grape seed, from which it is possible to obtain fundamental compounds of a wine rich in proteins, condensed tannins and aromatic extracts, Grainha Reserva red and white wines are born, which year after year maintains the profile of a deeper and gastronomic Douro, with maturation in oak barrels, a complex nose, well-structured in the mouth and with very special precision. A curious fact: the back label repeats the name in several languages, demonstrating its universality and the essence of life. WINEMAKER: Jorge Alves.
