The strong majority of the grapes come from the Pinhão River Valley, where Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz withstand the summer heat very well. These were joined by grapes from other Douro valleys, resulting in a classic blend Of region. Fermentation took place in a mixture of a closed vat to ensure freshness and aromatic component, press to ensure greater complexity and structure.
After a slow and careful aging in our cellars in the Douro, this Vintage now has an intense and ripe fruitiness, in addition to a floral that gives it excellent freshness. It shows a strong concentration and structure in the mouth, always accompanied by a rich and variable aromatic component. A classic vintage definitely remembering other decades!

Vinification:
Maceration in a stainless steel tank and press at a temperature of approx. from 28-30°C. Aging for one year in cask, and bottling for the second year.
On the 6th of September we decided to harvest some portions of Tinta Roriz. On September 11th we started the harvest of white varieties and we continued patiently until October 15th, as there was no threat of rain. Even the one registered in mid-September was harmless, even for some potentially sensitive varieties at this stage. We can therefore say that the challenge has been overcome!
In a completely challenging year. Quality promises, and wines with great personality are coming!
