the wine comes from the high plateau north of the douro. a field blend, the wine was trodden by foot in open stone lagars. that technique gives the wine its full, rich and open character. in contrast, the tannins and the bold fruit are very ripe, perhaps too much so, with the hint of pepper on the tongue from the alcohol. the wine, though, is finished with plenty of acidity. drink from 2018.
