The 14 hectares of the property spread across the fabulous clay-limestone soils that dominate the landscape of this estate. The entire vineyard is dry farmed, meaning no irrigation is used. It is here that, with the Merlot grape complemented by Touriga Nacional and Cabernet Sauvignon using exclusive gravity-fed vinification, we produce a charismatic red wine, which is only released in exclusive years and in small quantities. Its resemblance to the wines of the right bank of Bordeaux is very evident.

Ruby with an opaque centre. Intense aroma of ripe fruit, like blackplum and wild blackcurrant. Some toasting and spices from the wood. Full-bodied, textured, with silky tannins beneath the fruit. Acidity that makes the wine enjoyable and balances it throughout the tasting. Very long and savoury finish.
