- Complex aroma of blackberry and stone fruits with dark chocolate minty notes and hints of well-integrated spicy oak. A deep and full-bodied palate with layers of rich fruit, dense and creamy, well structured, and with great length and persistence.
Throughout the harvest, maturation rates were closely and meticulously monitored so that each parcel and each grape variety was picked separately due to its location and individual characteristics. In 2017, Aragonez was harvested on 21 August, earlier than usual. Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional only reached the winery on 11 September, while the Alicante Bouschet arrived from Perdigoes on 14 September and Lavradores on 29 September.

| Winery | Some of the oldest vineyards in the estate are of varying altitudes, ranging from 200 - 400m altitude and an average age of 25 years. They are planted on granite and schist soil with a clay loam structure. The grapes are hand-picked into small crates by variety, with bunch sorting. Fermentation is in open Lagares with a submerged cap and temperature control (22C—25C), basket pressing, and malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged 18 months in new oak barrels, followed by 3 years of bottle ageing before market release. |
