- Tasting notes - An elegant Port with ample aromas of black fruits, cassis and black cherry enveloped by a delicious spicy feel. The black fruit flavours of cherry carry through onto the palate, supported by soft, mature tannins and a long, harmonious finish.
Traditional fermentation used Quinta do Vallado-inoculated yeasts. Vinification took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Once the desired level of Baumé was reached, the grape brandy, known as the 'Benefit', was added, resulting in a naturally sweet wine. The wine spent four years maturing in stainless steel tanks before being bottled.
It is an elegant Port with ample aromas of black fruits, cassis and cherry, enveloped by a delicious spicy feel. The black fruit flavours of cherry carry through onto the palate, supported by soft, mature tannins and a long, harmonious finish.

| Winery | The vines are planted at altitudes ranging between 80 and 400 metres on south and west-facing slopes, which maximise exposure to the sun, assisting the ripening potential of the grapes. The landscape is characterised by the terraces that make up the vineyards. The soils are made up of schist, a slate-like metamorphic rock that is rich in nutrients and offers useful water retention properties. The vines are pruned according to the Double Cordon system and are harvested at optimal maturity into small crates to protect the quality. This wine is made from a field blend of old vines. The predominant varieties are Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca. |
