Tasting Notes

Very concentrated aromas, with balsamic notes of oak, fig, black plum and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and firm, with mature and silky tannins. There are mineral notes, and an elegant, persistent and complex finish.

Vineyards

Grapes for this Reserva blend come from old vines, aged between 60-100 years, and represent more than 35 varieties with a predominance of Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca and Tinta Barroca.

Winemaking

Part of the grapes underwent the traditional process of foot treading in granite “lagares”. The remaining grapes were vinified in 5-ton stainless steel vats, with controlled temperatures and mechanical remontage for 9 days. After the malolactic fermentation all the wines were racked into French oak barriques where they stayed for 18 months.

The wine comes from a vineyard with vines up to 100 years old. A field blend means scores of native Portuguese varieties grown on the ground, not trellised, over decades. Rich in tannins and spice from wood aging, this complex wine is densely textured. Powerful black fruits give the wine its ripeness and impressive potential. Drink from 2026.

There's a subtle and appealing aromatic overtone of dried violet, crushed rosemary, incense and mineral to this fresh, well-tailored red, while flavors of baked plum, chopped blackberry, milled pepper, fresh earth and iron are aligned with firm, fine-grained tannins. Best from 2027 through 2036.

Big and ripe, this drinks well and tastes great, but it isn't quite as fresh as, say, the Touriga. That's not to suggest that it doesn't hold its balance; it does. It just seems more typical. It is rather tasty, with ripe tannins for support. You can drink this young or hold it for extended aging.

Firm and dense, this concentrated wine has powerful black fruits. Its texture is still very present and young, promising great things for the future. Drink this memorable wine from 2026.

This, like so many of Vallado's reds this issue, is a wine that emphasizes structure, finesse, precision and elegance. In other words, it is a very serious wine in a classic style. It also delivers fine fruit, although it is subtly concentrated, never jammy, candied or obvious. This has loads of potential…It looks like a wine that can easily go 20 years, maybe more.

With 35 varieties in the blend, the fruit complexity is initially tamped down by a schist explosion of tannins before the wine lasts on succulent black currant and peppery black fruit savor. It offers a view to the horizon at dawn, waiting for the flavors to emerge into the light of day.

From old vines, planted as a field blend, this wine is impressively structured and textured. It is rich, with a tight mineral structure lying behind the black fruits. Ripe fruits and dark tannins need to meld together.

A fresh, fragrant red, featuring zesty ground pepper and minerally stone and iron, this offers flavors of cherry reduction, violet, rose hip and Earl Grey tea. Bright and buoyant on the palate, with fine tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2027.
