Grapes: 41% Touriga Franca, 34% Touriga Nacional, 13% Tinto Cão, 12% Tinta Roriz

Following the harvest the grapes are macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks with each variety vinified separately. The wine is then matured in 50% new and 50% used oak barrels for 18 months before the final composition of the blend is decided and the wine is bottled

2018 had a cold and dry winter, but an extremely rainy spring, which allowed the replenishment of water reserves in the soil. "Despite the hot and dry summer, the humidity in the soil allowed for a long and balanced maturation, which allowed the production of a red wine of excellent quality and full of character," Luís Sottomayor.
