We are blessed with the beautiful native Douro grape varieties, known for their intense fragrances. Thanks to the proximity of the vineyards to the cellar, during harvest all grapes arrive fresh at the winery, where the mild weather provided by the high altitude allows us to create fresh, persistent, and intense Port wines.While following the strict quality standards of the Port Wine authority (IVDP), we have our own style: grapes are fermented and vinified longer than usual reducing the sugar level and leaving room to let the flavors flourish with beautiful complexity.

Sustainable
This Tawny Port was crafted by blending a selection of our cellar’s best aged Ports averaging 10 years. These Ports aged in old neutral wood casks, each with its own personality. The result: A smooth, rich, complex, multi-layered and very balanced 10-Year-old Tawny.
Varietals: Touriga Franca (43%), Tinta Barroca (34%), Tinta Roriz (19%), Touriga Nacional (4%)
Viticulture: Hand-harvested, sustainable and dry farmed grapes.
Fermentation: Grapes were completely destemmed and fermented slowly with temperature control up to 28ºC degrees. Fermented in stainless steel vats.
Aging: Aged and matured in stainless steel and in seasoned French oak/ chestnut barrels.This Tawny was blended with other vintages, making an average of 10 years aging time. Gently filtered before bottling.
Tasting Notes: This Tawny is quite complex combining a fresh and young character of dried red fruits while developing the aged Port aromas like plums, raisins, fresh hazelnuts and almonds. Nice spicy entry on the palate followed by a touch of red fruits. The mid palate is filled with dried fruits while the finish complements its complexity by adding layers of spices and caramel. The balance between acidity, sugar, and alcohol is perfect leaving a drier feeling that is most welcome.
