Description
The last fruit to be harvested from the vineyard. Hand-picked and destemmed together in a ‘field blend’ style retaining as many whole berries as possible. The first working of the must is with the feet as in a traditional lager in Portugal to extract tannins from both skins and seeds. Gentle pressing and maturation in old oak barrels for 10 months.
Varietals: 35% Touriga Naçional, 35% Tinta Cão, 12% Tinta Amarela, 7% Tinta Roriz, 6% Alvarelhão & 5% Sousão
Vines: Fruit was sourced from the 1990 New Territories planting of classic Portuguese grape varieties on a rocky terraced hillside.
Cellaring: Drinking beautifully at present and will continue to evolve for up to 8 years under suitable cellaring conditions.
