Produced with our best grapes from the 2014 harvest, 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, your patience will be rewarded.
Dark ruby with hints of purple
Fresh wild berries flavors, such as blueberries and black berries combined with aromatic notes of mint and fresh pesto.
It shows a full body, with a taste of plums and wild berries and a long finish. Fresh and balanced, with a rich structure of tannins that will bring longevity.

Viticulture:
A wet winter and spring, followed by some moisture during flowering brought the freshness necessary to make balanced, elegant wines. The rain during the month of September created some challenges for the winemaking, so extra attention was put on the harvest and selection of the grapes in the vineyards, which was all done by hand.
Fermentation:
Fermented in stainless steel tanks for 5 days, with maceration occurring at up to 28ºC. 100% destemmed grapes. Unfiltered. Bottled in August 2017.
