Description

Resulting from a combination of grapes riper than usual and human persistence in venturing into innovation, this Late Harvest wine is born. It arose from the idea of making a non-fortified sweet wine, which is not common in the Douro, especially for red wines. It was harvested in November due to a dry and sunny autumn that allowed the grapes to gain extra sugar. The result is a sweet red wine with a high concentration of sugar, being one of the few, if not the only, late harvest red wine from the Douro.

A very dark wine with a deep ruby colour, it has a highly pronounced aroma of cherry and blackberry jam, with balsamic notes. Sweet, full-bodied, it shows immense fruit intensity, such as sour cherry and ripe blackberry, balanced by refreshing acidity. A long and balsamic finish, almost never-ending.
