(2025) Fermented in open steel tanks and aged 11 months in French oak barrels from Burgundy coopers, 33% new. Quite a pale colour, a slightly more muted aromatic than the previous two wines, more chestnut and sweet earth, a gentle stemmy quality, red berry fruit beneath. The palate has quite a creamy texture, and quite a vivacious character, fresh acidity and spices and a brightness to the fruit. There's a stripe of something like rhubarb that adds a bittersweet freshness in an interesting style.

(2017) Several Portuguese varieties here including Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão,Tinta Roriz and Sousão. Buoyant, fresh and approachable, it's juicy with little floral hints, a touch Bojo in style perhaps, with a big fruity and spicy palate, loads of dry tannin and red fruit skins bite.
