Vineyards & Viticulture
The grapes for this wine come from vineyards growing at an altitude of 600m in the Douro Valley, specifically in the Tabuaço region. Half are harvested from a Touriga Nacional vineyard while the other half come from old vines.

Soils
Schist

Harvest & Vinification
Whole bunches were lightly foot-trodden so as to extract some juice without damaging the grape skins. They were then left to spontaneously ferment and macerate in lagars before being pressed into stainless steel tanks where the wine completed malolactic fermentation, aged for 6 months and also naturally stabilized during the winter.
