A field blend of 30 different varieties, some are the indigenous Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Nacional. The wine is fermented in traditional granite lagares and aged for 18 months in 50% new and 50% second-passage French oak barriques. All grapes previously selected and de-stemmed were foot trodden in stone lagares during the fermentation process (10 days). The aging and malolactic fermentation was developed in french oak barrels for 18 months. Rich and powerful, this wine shows notes of raspberry, black cherry and plums. On the palate it is fresh and velvety with well integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish.
