This is showing aromas of currants, raspberries, chopped herbs and paprika. It’s crunchy and lively with a medium body, fine-grained tannins and a spicy, bright finish. 60% touriga nacional, 25% touriga franca, 10% tinta roriz and 5% tinta francisca. Drink or hold.

A stylish red, fresh and focused, with good concentration while remaining light on its feet. Features fine, taut tannins and lively acidity, which provide sleek definition for notes of crushed black raspberry and cracked pink peppercorn. Delivers a fragrant overtone of Mediterranean scrub and subtle, minerally iron tang on the finish. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Francisca. Drink now through 2028. 5,000 cases made, 375 cases imported.

The vineyard, deep into the hillside above Pinhão, has produced a richly structured wine. It also has an open character, emphasizing fruit and light tannins. Drink from 2024.
