Tasting Notes:
This wine is the result of the most rigorous selection of grapes from different premium oldest vine plots throughout the property. The wine is characterized by its intense fruit, remarkable volume, and structure followed by a long and fruity finish. It is recognizable by the extraordinary complexity that the Touriga Nacional and the field blend of old vines provide when together. This is a wine that will benefit greatly from a few years in the cellar, but can also be enjoyed young when it shows all its exuberance.
