More information about Marquês de Marialva Tinto Seleccionada
This Seleccionada has an intense ruby color and smells wonderfully of ripe wild berries, raspberries, plum, pine and raisins. The touch of coconut and vanilla indicates the 6 months of aging in American barrique. In the mouth it is round and soft, with a very elegant, long finish.
