  • Single estate grapes of Jaen/Mencia, Touriga Nacional and Sousão.

  • Ageing in French oak barrels for 24 months followed by 48 months in bottle.

Tasting Notes

“At my family estate, I planted three grapes – Jaen, Touriga Nacional and Sousão - I believe these are the ones that reflect the best the quinta soils in altitude vineyards at the Douro Superior: very poor granitic soil, cool nights, low yields, the organic grown grapes under dry farming.

Very elegant, intense, fresh on the aroma, hints of violets, bergamot and black fruits well balanced with French barrel notes from malolactic fermentation and two years ageing.

In the mouth, freshness and acidity identify the origin of the grapes, elegant and structured, this wine allows foreseeing a long life in the bottle.”
