The grapes come from 40-year-old vines on two of Quinta's parcels of land, which face north-east and lie 150 meters above sea level. After manual harvest in boxes of 25 kg. the grapes were kept in the fridge for 12 hours. Vinification was carried out by 5 days of foot stomping in the vineyard. During the vinification and aging process, the wine was gently stirred by gravity and without the use of pumps.

The color is classic ruby ​​red. In the nose, the port presents aromas of cherry and blueberry, some eucalyptus and menthol candies. In the mouth it is persistent, fresh, with beautiful red berries well integrated with excellent tannins.

The 2016 Vintage Port is a 60/40 blend of Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional, coming in with 19% alcohol and 87 grams of residual sugar. A tank sample (final blend, out of cask and ready for bottling in another week), this shows even more of the cistus/eucalyptus aromatics than the LBV had this issue. Of course, and more importantly, it also adds more power, concentration and riper fruit. It's delicious and beautifully structured, very tight. This just might be a sleeper of the vintage. It looks like a splendid VP, stuffed, structured and very tasty. I have an early date set here for approachability, but that's a minimum. It will show a lot better around 2035.
