O Produtor, tasting note published in November 23rd 2020
Intense red colour with a violet touch. A lively aroma with a focus on ripe fruit, where slight notes of jam and a floral touch stand out. From its passage through the French oak barrel, the wine inherited the notes of spices and smoked, which integrate perfectly with the notes of ripe black fruits. On the palate it has an intense flavour where the elegant tannin is very persistent. The particular acidity of this wine, together with its volume, gives it an elegance that lasts and well characterises it. Wine with great ageing potential.
With over 100 years of history from the vines where the grapes for this wine come from, made from a blend of more than 30 different grape varieties, with intense potential for longevity, and the perfect harmony between robust structure and silky body, this is a great wine!
Although it has a bold character, the smoothness of its consistency and the solid profile of its substance give it great potential for progression and longevity.
Aging for 18 to 24 months in carefully selected new barrels to ensure typicity, fruit, and elegance.

Quinta da Foz
The Quinta da Foz
It consists of 22 ha of old vines and olive groves, with an average age of over 80 years, planted in schist soils, with a maximum altitude of 250m.
To ensure the best use of the land and the best sun exposure, the steep slopes of Quinta da Foz, with slopes that exceed 25% in some areas, have been moulded to implant the vines in three different ways: terraces, traditional terraces and vineyards on the hillside.
Over centuries of cultivation with traditional techniques, the Durians have discovered unique ways of planting their vines, by making the rock on the surface of the arable soil. In turn, the schist guarantees and controls the temperature, thus creating the unique microclimate of the Douro for the development of the vine and roots. The total production of the vines is A-rated, which makes the wines produced at Quinta da Foz high quality. More than 30 varieties are planted at Quinta da Foz, the predominant ones being Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz. In winemaking, tradition is associated with innovation, using sophisticated techniques combined with foot treading in granite lagares at a controlled temperature. These are all conditions that together make the great wines of Quinta da Foz.
