Renowned Douro winemakers, Jorge Alves and Celso Peirera were looking for the perfect terroir to express Douro's full character. For several years they researched and ran detailed micro- trials in 10 different sites of the Cimo Corgo sub-region and Tua River sector of the Douro Superior . In 1999, they released their first wines which rapidly won international recognition.
The hand-harvested grapes came from vines grown on steep schist soils at 350 meters above sea level in the Tua valley.
After a warm, extractive fermentation the wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.
