This wine is the after effect of my never-ending pursuit for age-old vineyards in São Mamede’s Range, 700 meters in altitude. I’ve been recovering them throughout the years. It was matured for 24 months inside worn French oak casks, brought all the way from Burgundy, so as to retain the winery’s identity.

Grape Varieties: A mix of 2 vineyards, one of traditional varieties from São Mamede’s Range and the other of dry farming Alicante Bouschet with very low production.

Tasting Note: Very dark red, almost black colour. Intense and ripe fruit notes, without any maturing excess, to which tobacco adds up, and a deep mineral, gush out together with a slight vegetable overtone increasing an unusual complexity and intensity. Vivid and powerful, austere but delicate, it surprises with more serene live tannins, with a fresh and vigorous finish.

Winemaking: Manual harvest, for 20kg boxes, with strict selection in the cellar. Vinification in small capacity stainless steel presses with temperature control. 16 months aging in French oak barrels, 30% of which are new barrels and 70% used barrels.
