This red wine derives its name from the location of the vineyard where the grapes come from, namely Douro Superior (Upper Douro). The grapes come from Quinta da Cabreira, where 114 hectares of newly planted vines were planted
Deep purple in colour. On the nose the wine shows fresh wild berry fruit that are well integrated with
light notes of spice. Balanced on the palate, evolving into a wine of great volume, with a compact structure made of thick-textured tannins. The finish is elegant, fresh and lingering.
