A field blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz; all sustainably farmed and handpicked from estate vineyards in Bairrada. Macerated and fermented with native yeasts in traditional concrete lagares. Aged for five years in neutral barrique. 19.5% alcohol. 100g/L residual sugar. Only 2,000 bottles made. This is vivid, authentic tawny port. Fantastic dried fruit notes, brandied raisins, caramel, holiday spices and toffee notes. Sweet but not syrupy. Serve with Bleu Cheeses, salted nuts and, slightly chilled, as an aperitif. These wines are a collaboration between the Bergqvist family of Quinta de la Rosa and their genius winemaker, Jorge Moreira. The fruit comes from Quinta das Bandeiras, an estate in the Upper Corgo Valley, quite remote from their familiar locus in Pinhão.
