Firm, elegant tannins envelop the palate, leaving the flavours of fresh red fruit and spices through to a sweet and elegant finish.

The grapes were destemmed, crushed and underwent a careful skin maceration to obtain the necessary richness, body and fruitiness for a Vintage Port. Fermentation took place in vats with constant pump-overs during fermentation. Temperatures were controlled and maintained between 28 to 30°C until the desired Baumé was reached. At this stage, grape brandy was added, known as the ‘benefit’, resulting in a naturally sweet wine. The wine was aged in wooden vats between four and six years old.

| Winery | The vines are grown on terraces cut into the steep hillsides of the Douro Valley. The vines have been planted along the terraces of the greatest slopes, the “Vinha ao Alto”, meaning "vertically planted". The vineyard soils are schist greywacke ante-Ordovician, with some granitic formations. This soil is rich in nutrients and has useful water retention properties. Traditionally, the vines in the region are grown low, close to the ground. The single or double Guyot and unilateral and bilateral cordons are the methods most frequently used for training the vines. Trellises are not permitted for Port Wine grapes. The grapes are manually harvested once they have reached the optimum maturity according to the variety. |
