Winemaking:
Grapes from the best plots at the Quintas do Seixo and Vau estates, were fermented at the Quinta do Seixo Winery according to the traditional Porto Wine method in granite treading tanks. This ancestral winemaking method allows the grapes to release their constituents and naturally express the aromas of the grape variety and its terroir. After the harvest the wine remains in the Douro region and then are transported to the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia the following spring. The wines then begin their usual ageing process in oak vats. During this period, the wines undergo rackings, analysis and tastings, which allow their ageing to be monitored. The final blend is obtained from the careful selection of wines, in a tireless quest for maximum quality.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Franca,Touriga Nacional,Tinto Cão,Sousão
Tasting Notes:
Deep colour, almost opaque. Aroma of excellent complexity, with spicy notes, together with curry, pepper, ginger, red berries and black fruits. The wine has a light cacao touch with a slightly stony finish, the result of good maturation. On the palate it is intense and complex with lively acidity, firm and well present tannins with an extremely long finish and great concentration.
