Jaen (aka Mencia), Alfrocheiro, Touriga Nacional
From 500 meter high vineyards above the Dao river, this is made from the local Encruzado variety on granite soils. Aged in large, fairly neutral foudre. "Fresh, elegant, and complex. Regarding the 2018 vintage, "Ripening was very slow and the wines express that wonderful freshness. These grapes were picked in mid September and the result is a complex wine full of fresh and spicy character." - WINERY NOTES
