A field blend of old Douro vines, including Vioshio, Rabigato, Arinto and Verdelho, cask fermented and aged in oak for eight months. Lees contact adds creaminess to the rounded texture, which is balanced by crisp acidity with clean grapefruit citrus, a mineral core and a touch of spice on the finish. A great food wine, with plenty of character and complex aromatics.
