Discover the grape variety: Verdelho
Structured, taut whites with precise acidity and a slender mouth, featuring aromas of citrus (lemon, orange peel), dried fruits, toasted almond, Mediterranean herbs and pronounced saline notes. A historic pillar of medium-dry Madeira (one of the island's four classic noble grapes) where it develops complex oxidative notes. Also as structured dry whites in Douro DOC and Australia (Hunter Valley). Native Portuguese grape, unrelated to Spanish Verdejo.

Touriga Nacional signature as red king (300+ authorised varieties): intense and floral with blackberry, black cherry, violet, garrigue, liquorice and mineral schist hint, firm tannins — noble Douro emblem. Supple Touriga Franca and spicy Tinta Roriz as complement. Fresh mineral whites and creative modern sparkling.
The word of the wine: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
