A fascinating blend of five varieties, this solid, black wine shows structure, dense tannins, an enticing perfume and big, ripe fruits. The finish has acidity, but also those powerful tannins. Age for 4–5 years.

A blend of five grapes, this is a firm, tannic and age-worthy wine. Even the high alcohol doesn’t show on the rich, well-balanced palate. It’s full of plum and black currant flavors, and wood-derived flavors show on the finish.

Made from a collection of old varieties, with delicious ripe fruit, dark tannins and a powerful structure. The texture is surrounded by sweet fruit, super-rich plums, black figs, the exuberant fruit balanced by a more austere, serious side.

A barrel-aged white, with crisp acidity made rich by spice and toast. The balance is just right, the stone yellow fruits giving ripe softness, while minerality and acidity provide the contrast.

This warm, rich wine, blending Touriga Nacional and Castelão, rolls roundly around the mouth. The tannins are chewy, although always in support of the ripe berry fruits, sweet wood and acidity.

Based on Cercial, here is a rounded, smooth wine with a delicious perfume. Warm, ripe and delicious, this shows wood hints, peaches and green herbs. Keep for a year.

Very true to the variety, this is a soft, barnyardy, raspberry flavored wine. With its ripe fruit and well integrated tannins, it has a smooth mouthfeel that is freshened with acidity on the finish.
