This blend of vintage-quality harvests from older vines is aged an average of 5 years (we call it our Ruby's "Older Brother").
 
CEPAGES
Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Cão, Mourisco, Tinta Pomar and Rufete from our estate's older vines.
 
VINIFICATION
Hand-picked, estate-grown grapes undergo pre-fermentation line-up maceration with foot-treading in traditional lagares for 3 days followed by 3 days of temperature-controlled fermentation to more slowly extract the grapes' soft tannins, complex aromas, and rich colors. The various harvests have aged an average of 5 years in neutral, French oak, 500 liter (130 gallon) puncheons, and 7000 liter (1850 gallon) foudres before blending.
