Like taking a bite of the smoothest, darkest flourless chocolate torte while standing in tree pose – pure concentration and balance and poise smothered in richness. And like some ancient yogi on a mountain top these vines have absorbed the schist and granite soil of their terroir and soaked up the hot, high altitude sunshine of Douro Superior, and packaged up into a glass of perfect wisdom.
What The Sommelier Says
Ruby colour with dark purple undertones and hints of purple around the edges. Deliciously heady aroma of plum, blueberry, cassis and vanilla with notes of forest flowers and a finish of cocoa. On the palate, it is full bodied and well-balanced with good acidity and mature tannins.
Pairs well with…
…a tender rack of lamb with black currant glaze, grilled steak on the bbq, or a dark chocolate flourless cake.
About The Winemakers
Once upon a time there was a farm with vineyards, an olive grove, almond trees and a pine forest, with a superb view from the top of the mountains to the bed of the River Tua, which it follows, as if delighting in the laziness of its course, narrow between ravines until the bridge, opening into a lake and then narrowing, as if it wanted to escape and go down towards Brunheda, then continuing to its mouth, in the River Douro.

Region: Douro
The wines of the Douro Valley are known for their depth, complexity, and aging potential. The soil is predominantly schist, a type of metamorphic rock that retains heat and helps to ripen the grapes. The region’s unique terroir, combined with the use of indigenous grape varieties and traditional winemaking techniques, create wines that are rich, complex, and full of character.
