On the palate, it has excellent volume, good acidity, firm, well-integrated tannins, spicy and red fruit notes, and a very long and complex finish.

Winemaking:
The grapes, sourced from the best plots of the Quinta do Seixo and Quinta do Vau estates, were fermented at the Quinta do Seixo winery using the traditional Port wine method in granite lagares (traditional stone troughs). 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 wines remain in the Douro region and are transported to the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia the following spring. The wines then begin their usual aging process in oak vats. During this period, the wines undergo racking, analysis, and tasting, allowing for monitoring of their aging. The final blend is obtained from a meticulous selection of wines, in a relentless pursuit of the highest quality.
