| Maturation: After the harvest, the wine remained in the Douro, where it was subject to its first racking during the winter. The following spring, it was transferred to Vila Nova de Gaia, where began the traditional aging process for Porto Wines in oak casks. During this period, the wines were subject to racking, analysis and testing to monitor the aging process. The final lot was obtained only further to rigorous selection of the wines, only those of the highest quality being used. | Consumption temperature: 16-18º |

| Tasting Notes - Aroma: Intense and complex aroma with balsamic notes of resin, cedar and tobacco box, complemented by spicy tones of black pepper, clove and well-matured black fruit | Tasting Notes - Palate: Powerful on the palate, well-integrated acidity, very good tannins and some floral aromas that invite an excellently balanced and long finish |
| Vintage / Winemaking: Vinified using grapes from wine estates in the Pinhão area, using traditional Porto Wine technology. Further to the selection process, the grapes were subject to soft-crushing and destemming before undergoing a very intense maceration, during alcoholic fermentation, via treading in granite lagares at automatically-controlled temperatures. The balance and harmony of this wine, as well as its body and structure, result from selecting the best grapes, the intensity of maceration and from choosing the right moment to stop fermentation |
