Juicy and engaging, with an ebullient mix of blueberry, plum and raspberry pâte de fruit notes bouncing through, laced liberally with anise and ganache details.
90% Field Blend Mixed Varieties 10% Very rare clone of Touriga Naçional. Vines are 60 to 110 years old. Hand harvested from 5 to 6 vineyards, which are vinified separately and kept in separate casks.
Traditional foot trodding in lagares where bunches are destemmed, but fermentation occurs adding back stems in layers. Fermentation is arrested with Spanish Moscato based grape spirit, which lends elegance. The wine is aged two to three years in 150 year-old seasoned chestnut vats, then rests in stainless steel before bottling.
