Mulberries, blackberries, spices, cedar and licorice on the nose. The palate is fleshy and medium- to full-bodied with velvety tannins. Very clean and pure. A blend of 60% touriga nacional, 25% touriga franca, 10% tinta roriz and 5% tinta francisca.

I tasted again the 2022 Manoella Tinto that had settled in bottle for one year. I think this cooler property is showing quite well in the warm 2022 vintage. The wine has only 13% alcohol, which is even lower than the 2021. It keeps the profile, fruit-driven and primary, perhaps with some notes of graphite and more tannins, serious and harmonious, showing really well. 87,240 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2024.

Floral on the nose, with a bright core of crushed mulberry and black raspberry fruit, mandarin orange peel and mineral elements accented by fragrant notes of violet, mountain herbs, anise and graphite. Fine, taut tannins provide good tension and a lightly chalky texture on the lingering finish. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Francisca. Drink now through 2032. 7,270 cases made, 500 cases imported.
