Harvest starts with hand picking the grapes. Then destemming and gently crushing. Fermentation takts place in granite lagares with vigorous treading to extract optimum levels of colour, flavour and tannin before fortification. The ferment takes place at an ideal moment to halt the fermentation by fortifying with grape spirit, leaving some of the grapes ’natural sugars.

The wines remain in the Douro until the spring following the harvest. Then their journey begins, down stream to the historic Sandeman cellars in Vila Novade Gaia.

They remain there for decades of oxidative ageing in used oak barrels. The 30 year old tawny is a carefully crafted blend of wines between 25 to 40 years of age.
