Portugal
The property’s 151 acres are spread over clay-limestone soils that dominate the gentle hills of this property. The entire vineyard is dry farmed. With a base of red wine (Principal) and our use of gravity flow winemaking, we are able to produce a red wine that reflects the nature of the limestone-rich soils: with its expressive fruit, vibrant acidity, minerality and rich texture.

Tasting Note
Ruby with opaque center. Aromas of dark berries, cedar, leather, and minerals. Full-bodied, with firm tannins, but very polished. Vibrant acidity that remains throughout. Great length, mouth feel and a mineral finish.
