With deep violet hues, Principal Grande Reserva Tinto presents notes of ripe black fruit, such as blueberries and plums. Slight smokiness adds complexity to the aroma. It is a full-bodied, voluminous wine with well-marked tannins that provide a high potential for evolution. A wine to keep. It is called Principal and, in the range of products from the Colinas de São Lourenço estate, it represents the line of superlative wines, bottles that aspire to be excellent and that best define the most daring ambitions of its owner. Wine cannot be exactly a noble value, absolutely principal, but it can be a testament to virtues and feelings that govern life. Thus, like a riddle that recalls distant links between the implicit that explains and the explicit that implies, on the label of these wines, under the term Principal, symbols are concealed that involve a special meaning.
