Vinhas Velhas Branco
70% Antão Vaz, 30% Perrum. Fermented in French oak followed by extended ageing on lees. Aromatics reminiscent of Tokaji, with notes of crystalised ginger mingling with melted butter. Almost Burgundian in character on the palate. Rich and remarkably long.

Branco
Equal parts Antão Vaz, Verdelho, Vermentino & Viognier, stainless steel ferment. Intriguing waxy, pollen nose with notes of honeydew melon. Palate is rich and textural but pitch-perfect acidity keeps it in check. Totally delicious.

Colheita Seleccionada Tinto
Equal parts Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon & Syrah. Fermented in lagar, followed by 9 months ageing in French and American oak. The nose is initially savoury with black olive and dried meat notes but then gives way to a flush of plums.
