Description

The Douro Valley is known for its port wines, where grape varieties battle the continental climate’s scorching summer heat and winter cold. These grapes are fortified with grape spirits. The same grapes from the stunning terraced vineyards can be crafted into red wines whose popularity has been on the rise for years. In this wine, João Soares and Ana Urbano have ensured that the hand-selected grapes’ juicy fruitiness, freshness, and the vineyard’s nuances are preserved in the final product. The fermentation at a low temperature and the decision to abstain from using oak barrels have contributed to the authenticity of this wine.
