City On A Hill Tinta das Baroccas displays a medium ruby colour. The nose is complex and articulate. Aromas of red plum, blackcurrant pastille, and Morello cherry greet the senses. Intriguing notes of liquorice, fynbos, and tobacco leaf add depth. The palate is medium-bodied, sleek, and spicy. Bright acidity provides wonderful freshness. Grippy, fine tannins unfold beautifully with air. It is intense but not weighty, offering a layered, earthy, and long finish.
