Harvest Note
An exceptionally dry winter and hot summer created near-drought conditions, stressing older vines and reducing yields by over 30%. Rain arrived in late August, followed by a cool September that supported steady ripening. Harvest began September 23 with healthy, concentrated fruit, though late rains introduced some rot, particularly in the Lower Douro.
Tasting Note
Lustrous coppery color with an amber rim. Aromas of gingerbread, honeysuckle, orange, and caramel lead to a smooth palate of rum raisin, citrus, and tropical fruit, layered with butterscotch and honey. Precise, elegant finish with crisp acidity.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with desserts featuring figs, almonds, or caramel, as well as crème brûlée, strawberries, or dried fruit.
