With deep violet tones, Principal Grande Reserva Tinto presents notes of ripe black fruit, such as blueberries and plums. Light smoke adds complexity to the aroma. It is a full-bodied, voluminous wine, with well-marked tannins that provide a high potential for evolution. A wine to keep. It is called Principal and, in the range of products from the Colinas de São Lourenço estate, it represents the line of superlative wines, of bottles that aspire to be excellent and that best define the most daring ambitions of their owner. Wine cannot exactly be a noble value, absolutely main, but it can be a testimony to virtues and feelings that govern life. Thus, as in a riddle that recalls distant links between the implicit that it explains and the explicit that it implies, on the label of these wines, under the term Principal, symbols that involve a special meaning are concealed.
