• Viticultural year:  2023 was once again an atypical year, with a warm and rainy winter, a very hot and dry spring and a hot summer, but considered normal due to the rainfall recorded in June and September.
  
  The high temperatures and low rainfall in some of the months of the growing season contributed to the year being considered warm and normal in terms of rainfall, but with deviations from the climatic pattern.

• The Wine:  This is a rosé made from Touriga Nacional, from a plot of 40-year-old vines. A very light pressing was carried out, with little contact time with the masses in order to obtain a light colour and a finer aroma.
  
  The result is a very elegant wine, full of freshness and showing the region’s potential for wines like this.
