About the Old Vines:

Old vines are a treasure of the Douro, decades old with deep roots that extract the unique essence of the terroir. They produce grapes of exceptional concentration, lower yield but superior quality, resulting in wines of extraordinary complexity.

Tasting Notes:

With a deep ruby color, the aromatic complexity stands out, where we can get lost in a symphony composed of seductive aromas of wild berries, fresh spice, and rockrose notes. A very elegant wine that quickly evolves in the mouth into a wine of excellent volume with a solid structure and fine-grained tannins. An engaging wine that finishes balanced, fresh, and very persistent.
