One of the first ever fine dry wines made in the Douro valley, this is hugely complex, with concentrated aromas and flavours, married to wonderful freshness. There is lively and juicy cherry fruit, overlaid by spices, Mediterranean herbs, black olives, date, Muscovado sugar and coconut. Tomás Roquette describes it as 'fruit salad,' since it's a field blend of 30 or more co-planted varieties, with vines more than 70 years of age. It takes 3-4 vines to produce each bottle of this wine. Decanting is recommended to enjoy this exceptional wine now, however, it also has fantastic cellaring potential - it will easily keep 5-10 years.

Winemaking
A field-blend of 25-30 varieties of old vines from an assemblage of steep vineyard plots, the fruit for this wine was exclusively hand-picked, and taken to the winery in 25kg crates to preserve quality. After destemming, crushing and fermentation in stainless steel, maturation was in 85% French and 15% American barrels for 16 months.
