BLEND
My grandfather, Mário Barbeito, had a very special relationship with wines made from the Tinta Negra grape. The mere fact that he offered Tinta Negra wines to his friends could only mean that they were very good and that he enjoyed them very much. Thus, since 1995 I recovered the idea and began aging Tinta Negra wines by the traditional Canteiro method. A growing delicate and elegant aroma is showing the result of aging under moderate temperatures over 16 years.
In November 2015, were bottled 1659 units all individually numbered.
