Vinha Me, the flagship red of the estate, translates to The Mother Vine in Portuguese and is a testament to the strong yet soothing nature of the wine. Sourced from 27 year old vines and fermented in traditional granite lagares with successive machine pressings, this wine is aged in French oak barriques for 20 months.

Tasting Notes
