Grande Druida
This first edition marks the return of the Baga grape variety to these vineyards, located at 500 meters of altitude on the right bank of the Dão River. The granite-origin soils, rich in quartz and clay, give these grapes a special character. The climate is characterized by cold, windy, and humid autumns and winters, mild springs, and hot, dry summers.
The climatic year was generally dry and hot. The region’s high thermal amplitudes allowed for a slow ripening process, preserving great freshness and acidity in these grapes, which were handpicked and selected in early September.
