Crafted from 30- to 50-year-old vines in the rugged, high-altitude hills of Portugal's Dão region, this exceptional red is a masterclass in elegance and complexity.

An explosive, generous nose of ripe black cherries, pomegranate, and dark chocolate opens into a dense palate layered with unique notes of Earl Grey tea, tangerine peel, and violet petals.

Aged for a year in French and Portuguese oak, it balances beautifully integrated, fine-grained tannins with a refreshing acidity that perfectly embodies its Wall Street Journal acclaim as an "overdeliverer."
