The property’s 61 hectares of vines are spread across the rich clay-limestone soils that dominate the gentle hills of this estate. The entire vineyard is dry farmed, meaning no irrigation is used. Here, three of the world’s most reputed red grape varietals—Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot—are planted and meticulously cared for. These grapes are vinified using gravity flow winemaking, producing our most emblematic red wine, which can stand shoulder to shoulder with the finest red wines in the world.

Ruby rim with an opaque core. Pronounced aroma of preserved black fruit, cedar, dried herbs, pencil lead, and a subtle toastiness from the oak. Full-bodied, with powdery, granular tannins. Lively acidity that persists throughout the tasting. Very long, mineral finish.
