O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2021
Fragrant aromas of country flowers and blackberries with an inviting and discreet touch of vanilla. Vigorous and expressive in the mouth, with delicious notes of wild berries and elegant herbaceous notes.
The first harvests (2007, 2008 and 2009) were produced from grapes exclusively from Assares, the first of the three Symington family vineyards in the Vilariça valley to receive full organic certification. The remaining vineyards, Ataíde and Canada, have received organic certification since the 2010 harvest.
Vinification: Rigorous selection of grapes on a selection mat (triage); total destemming and crushing; inoculation with selected yeast; fermentation in stainless steel vats with prolonged maceration with reassembly at a controlled temperature of 25-26°C. Aging: Nine to ten months in French oak barrels.

Symington Family Estates
There is a natural affinity between wine and family. Long-term vision and commitment through many generations are essential for the success of a family wine company. A newly planted vineyard takes time to produce great wines and often requires a lifetime’s work to yield best results. The Symington family, with Scottish, English and Portuguese ancestry has been present in the Douro for five generations — since 1882 — and through the current generation’s great grandmother, the family’s links to the wines of the Douro span 14 generations, to the mid-17th century and to the very beginnings of the history of Port.
