The vines stand in the Chão dos Eremitas vineyard, planted in 1970 on the southern foothills of the Serra d’Ossa, on granitic, sandy, slightly acidic soils with limited development. 30 % whole bunches and 70 % destemmed grapes were transferred to the vat by gravity. Fermentation was spontaneous, with 35 days of skin contact followed by 18 months of maturation in barrique. The wine is light ruby-granate in colour, medium-bodied and fresh, with aromas of plum, tobacco and spice, an elegant progression and firm, pronounced tannins. 1.795 numbered bottles were produced.
