The stage begins to obtain a wine of great aromatic elegance, where the aromas of the Douro are not masked by the excess of barrel notes. Very smooth and well-ripened tannins, fresh and aromatic, very elegant, with an unusually long finish.

VARIETIES - Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz.

ORIGIN - Grapes from vineyards planted in the Douro Superior, at an average altitude of 350 meters, as plots are chosen one by one depending on the harvest, generally from vines over 40 years old, planted on terraces with predominant exposure East / North . We look for a selection of grapes that allow us to obtain very concentrated, very aromatic and rich wines with a great aging capacity, with a gastronomic character that well represents the “terroir” of the Douro Superior in all its complexity.

GASTRONOMY - Iberian ham, roasts, game, smoked meats and other intense Mediterranean agricultural dark meat dishes. Excellent with cured sheep cheeses.
