This exceptional wine, crafted from the vineyard's final fruit harvest, undergoes a meticulous process of handpicking and destemming in a 'field blend' fashion to preserve the integrity of whole berries, followed by the initial working of the must through the traditional foot-treading method reminiscent of Portuguese lagars, allowing for the extraction of tannins from both skins and seeds, before it matures in seasoned oak barrels for a period of 10 months.

A blend of 35/35/12/7/6/5% touriga naçional, tinta cão, tinta roriz , tinta amarela , alvarelhão, sousão, all sourced from '90 plantings. From its brilliant crimson purple colour to aromas of satsuma plums, wild berries and spice, there's a lot to love. Concentrated and flavoursome, yet balanced and very long with persistent and subtle tannins attesting to a wine that will age beautifully over a least the next 10 years.
