Quinta de Lubazim Grande Reserve Red 1,5L 2016
64,50 €
It presents a deep ruby colour, impresses on the nose for its freshness and complexity, fresh aromas of a forest, wild fruits and floral notes. In the mouth it presents an elegant beginning, evolving into a wine of excellent volume and solid structure, where we find fine-textured tannins very well integrated, ending in perfect balance, persistent and enveloping.

D. João I graced João Gomes with the lands of Lubazim, in the upper Douro, for his deeds at the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385; One of his daughters came to marry with the grandson of the Meirinho-Mor de El-Rei, Gonçalo Vaz de Castro.
Quinta de Lubazim remained as belonging to the Castros until today, which means that remained in the same family for 23 generations.
