Only produced in best vintages. Foot trodden in lagars, then fermented in talha and aged in French oak barriques for 9 months. Generally a blend around Grand Noir (55%), Touriga Francesa (30%), Touriga Nacional (15%). Exclusively from the old mixed variety ‘José de Sousa Vineyard’ planted in 1952/53.
13.5%. A very smooth wine, with a beautifully integrated, complex nose: hints of spice, cedar, blueberry, black fruits, dates, figs, and dried straw. Nicely concentrated, complex, finely focused flavors that hang on to the tongue tip for minutes. (Tasted 2014) 96
