The grapes from old vines are taken to the winery in plastic boxes. On arrival in the winery they are rigorously inspected on a sorting table. The grapes with their stems are then slightly crushed and transferred to a traditional stone tank (“lagar”) where they are foot trodden. After this, grape spirit is added to stop the fermentation and fortify the wine. Ageing 2 to 4 years in Portuguese oak vats.

Vibrant ruby colour. Lifted and complex aromas of red berry with balsamic hints. Very involving and charming. Complex and balanced showing fine and round tannins. Very elegant finish. Fresh and lingering.
