About this product
From old-vine parcels on steep schist terraces — Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca fermented traditionally in granite lagares and aged in French oak. Dense, complex, and structured with blackberry, blueberry, violets, dark chocolate, graphite, and the signature Douro schist minerality. A wine of commanding presence that ages magnificently over 10–20 years — the textbook Douro red.

The quintessential Douro pairing — slow-cooked kid goat from the same schist landscape as the wine. The wine's dense tannins and dark fruit complement the goat's richness while olive oil bridges its mineral quality.
