🌿 Vineyards: This Douro wine is produced with grapes from a single vineyard at Quinta do Roncão, next to the Douro River. This vineyard is located at a low elevation facing east, making it perfect for an early harvest dedicated to this variety.

🌱 Varieties: Francisca Tincture
🛠️ Winemaking: 2020 was a fantastic year for the production of this wine in the Douro. This was the first year we bottled this variety. With the aim of making a different wine, with a traditional Douro grape variety, we opted for separate fermentation with minimal intervention. It was then stored in stainless steel tanks and bottled in 2021.
