Produced from our best grapes from the 2010 harvest at Vale D’Agodinho, this vintage Port is the result of the best selection of what nature produced. It is a carefuly crafted Port and only small small quantities are made. Bottled 2 years after the harvest, it ages very well in bottle, so your patience will be rewarded.
Dark ruby
Fresh wild berries, violet and lavender.
Compact, very rich and intense, with the tannins totally dominated by the fruit. It is fresh and it has a long, lingering aftertaste.
Touriga Nacional (25%), Touriga Franca (25%), Tinta Roriz (18%) Tinto Cão (8%), Tinta Barroca (8%), Others (16%)

The long and very wet Winter helped to create the water reserves the vines needed during the very hot and dry days of August. Totally destemmed grapes followed by a slow fermentation with temperature control up to 28ºC degrees. Not filtered. Bottled in June 2012.
