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.
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 which is rich in nutrients and also offers useful water retention properties.
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.
