A wine with a deep dark red colour. Strong upfront fruit on the nose, with intense blackberry and ripe fruit on the palette. The wine has got great balance between the alcohol and fruit. A big juicy wine with well structured tannins and a long finish. A Port that will go well with any dark chocolate pudding or just on its own after a good evening with friends or family.

Grape Variety	84% Touriga Nacional, 16% Pinotage
Climate	Sufficient winter rains ensured stress free vineyards until harvest. A cool growing and long ripening season together with smaller berries and crop size resulted in wines with an abundance of colour and fruit. One of the great vintage of the Cape.

Vinification	These grapes were harvested by hand and colour extraction was done by stomping for two days by foot in the open air fermenters (Lagare in Portuguese).
