The 2024 Vintage Port was produced with 47% Touriga Franca (the highest amount of other Vintage Ports), 30% Touriga Nacional, 13% Alicante Bouschet and 10% Sousão. It was fermented with indigenous yeasts in lagar and matured in large oak vessels for 18 months. It's full of energy and tension, is harmonious and has so much going on. This has more Touriga Franca than any of their other Vintage Ports, and it's also the sweetest, but it has phenomenal concentration and higher acidity and comes through as balanced. It is juicy and opulent, with balance. Aromatic, it develops hints of rosemary with time in the glass. It has 20% alcohol, a pH of 3.65 and 110 grams of acidity. 18,120 bottles produced. Drink 2034-2054.
Just 1,510 cases representing 4% of the total production of this magnificent estate on the south side of the River Douro in the Douro Superior, 47% Touriga Franca (planted in the 1970s), 30% Touriga Nacional, 13% Alicante Bouschet, 10% Sousão: very deep inky crimson hue; restrained but well defined on the nose, lovely pure berry fruit with a nice green edge; this freshness and purity of fruit is evident on the palate too with spicy tannins rising in the mouth, lovely definition and a finish that has perfect poise despite being the sweetest of all the wines at 4.2 baumé.
