Waar serveer je ’m bij?
The most concentrated and the oldest of this series. Trodden in open lagares and then left for years in used wood — the Bairrada tradition of keeping, at full length. Twelve years after the harvest the primary fruit has moved on into leather, dried herbs and forest floor, with the tannin undiminished underneath. This is a wine you choose for intensity, not for weight.
