A field blend of old vines from Castro's Quinta da Pellada, this is an impressively rich and concentrated wine from a warm vintage. The fruit is ripe, with peach and mango flavors, the acidity laced with this richness. A hint of wood adds further complexity.

Rich and concentrated, this is a wine that has the Dão structure. It has an austere minerality from the hard granite soi, which is layered with enticing ripe black-fruit flavors. Touches of wood aging are blended well with the richness of this dense wine.
