Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca. Dark red color with brownish shades. Lots of dark fruit and spicy, complex tones in the nose. Nice, tight, but lush mouthfeel. Black cherries, crisps, strawberry and black currants with hints of tobacco, old leather and pepper. Long finish that keeps its structure in the mouth.

climate

Cold winters and extremely hot summers. The Serra do Marão protects the Douro from cold rain from the west (Atlantic Ocean). As a wine region, the Douro is probably one of the most beautiful in the world. It is protected by UNESCO as world heritage.

soil

Partly weatherworn granite, and (mainly) gray slate.

vinification

Vinification occurs on small vessels with a careful maceration on the pellets. The wine matures on French oak barrels for 9 months.
