Flor de la Mar Tinto - Casa Ermelinda

In the glass, the Flor de la Mar Tinto from Casa Ermelinda shows a dense purple color. The first nose of Flor de la Mar Tinto flatters with nuances of blackberries, black currants and blueberries. The fruity components of the bouquet are joined by more fruity-balsamic nuances.

This red from Casa Ermelinda is the right choice for all wine connoisseurs who like it dry. However, it is never dry or brittle, which is not a matter of course for an entry-level wine. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is perfectly balanced. In the finish, this red wine from the wine-growing region Douro & Porto finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of black currant and blackberry.

Vinification of the Casa Ermelinda Flor de la Mar Tinto
