Together with the famous oenologist Rui Reguingo and the youngest member of the owner family, Diogo de Braganza Camphilo, this cuvée was created from the best grapes of the Quinta. The wine was aged for 12 months in French oak before being bottled in mid-September 2010. It has a very subtle aroma, still somewhat closed, with delicate cherry and plum aromas as well as herbs and the wood is very restrained. It is very delicate and elegant on the palate. It has enough acidity and fruit, is very well structured with fine-grained tannins. A wine full of character with bite, which will certainly appeal to connoisseurs.
The Tejo region is considered the agricultural heart of Portugal. The region is characterized by a mild climate, sufficient rainfall and an extensive irrigation system supplied by the River Tagus. A few ambitious winegrowers have cultivated good vineyards in the barren hinterland, away from the fertile Tagus, and produce mainly local varieties, but also international ones such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah.
