as its name suggests this wine comes from vines planted close to the torto river that runs through the quinta. the extra warmth from the river produces extra-ripe grapes that go into this powerful, although impressively restrained wine. foot trodden in traditional stone fermenters, the wine is rich with the same opulent texture as a vintage port (although of course dry). dark and for the long haul the wine should not be consumed before 2020.
