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%. Leading with vanilla, mocha, and red-fruit aromas. A fantastic mouthfeel, with perfectly balanced fruit weight. Neatly structured, well-integrated tannins traverse ultra-long, finely tapered finish. (Tasted 2014) 99
