"As always, this Douro wine features a blend of indigenous Portuguese grape varieties that makes it simply unique and delicious!"

The latest vintage to be released, the Primeiros Anos 2023 once again offers a blend of native grape varieties rooted along the banks of the Douro River, resulting in an intense, complex, and delicious wine. Its aromas of crushed black fruits, spices, and roasted notes are also reflected on the palate. Smooth, with firm yet well-integrated tannins, its silky texture envelops the palate right through to a long, indulgent finish.
