Product details
From the old vineyards of Tapada do Castanheiro, in Mêda, at an altitude of 600 metres, a unique wine is born, the result of a harmonious combination of white and red grapes, revealing the essence of the Douro lands. This is a two-year blend, 2019 and 2020, as the vineyard doesn't yield enough each year. The 2019 vintage aged for 31 months in barrels, while the 2020 vintage benefited from a 19-month ageing period.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
