A field blend of more than 30 grape varieties including Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, and others, with 85% from vineyards older than 90 years, and 15% (Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca) from 20-year-old vines.

The grapes from the old vineyards on the Estate (over 90 years old) were vinified in stainless steel, temperature-controlled, remontage vats, holding up to 5,000 kilos of grapes. The chosen parcels of the 39 acres of the old vineyards were vinified separately, the fermentation lasting an average of 8 to 20 days. The grapes from the younger vineyards (Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca) were foot-trodden in “lagares” and part of this was vinified in stainless steel. After malolactic fermentation, all the wines were racked into 225-liter French barriques (60% new, 40% used), where they stayed for 18 months of aging.
