Viticulture
Hand harvested at the perfect maturation point from different parcels and immediately processed at our wine cellar.
Terroir
Mainly granite with a mix of schist.
Vineyard
Vineyards are located throughout the sub-region of Amarante within Vinho Verde; a brief 40 minutes from Oporto and 15 minutes from the entrance to Douro Valley. Because of this location at higher altitude, the vines enjoy a diverse microclimate and distinctive terroir. Wide swings between day and night temperatures result in longer hang time and more even ripening for the grapes.
Vinification
Grapes are crushed and fermented in stainless steel vats with controlled temperature. Before bottling, the wine is filtered and stabilized.
Aging
3 months in a mix of French and American oak

Tasting Note
Fruit notes such as prunes, strawberries and black berries and light nuances of cedar box, tobacco and cocoa powder. Full-bodied on the mouth with soft and engaging tannins that result in a fresh and persistent finish.
