With an initial smooth texture, this is a rich wine. The ripe fruit hides the firm, dense structure, packed with dry tannins and wood spice. The wine is powerful in a serious way, needing several years’ aging.

A darkly tannic wine, very mineral, tasting of the granite Dão soil. The wine is taut, fresh with black currants, its structure a major element. For aging 3–4 years.

A fine balance between yellow fruit richness, with apricots and peaches, and a crisp, exquisite line of citrus. The wine is rich, while also fresh, a great food white wine.
