<p></p><p>Samarrinho is one of the greatest examples of the continuous innovation and experimental projects occurring at Real Companhia Velha, with the 2013 vintage presenting the world with its first ever Samarrinho single-varietal. After being launched in the market under the experimental brand “Series”, the 2015 vintage began a new line for Quinta do Síbio, with an intensely aromatic Douro white, with a great floral and mineral character which reveals quite unusual for the region</p>

Very alive and elegant in the nose, with red fruit and spices. In the mouth it is fresh and delicate, with volume and good structure, showing well the complexity of older vineyards. Without doubt, a rosé with many attributes, very gastronomic, with a good balance between acidity and mineral notes. Long and persistent finish. Excellent aperitif, ideal to accompany pâtés, baked fish and white meats.</p> </div>

<p></p><p>TITAN of Távora-Varosa Daemon ‘Sescenti Sexaginta Sex’ (666) is a white wine from an old vineyard, over 140 years old, located in the municipality of Sernancelhe, at an altitude of 850 metres. This vineyard, with an area of 0.80 hectares, grows on granite and quartz soil, with the Cerceal variety predominating among other varieties planted. Winemaking: The winemaking process was very simple and uninterventive: fresh grapes at their ideal point of ripeness, hand-picked into 20kg boxes, were transported to the winery where they underwent careful hand-picking, destemming and gentle crushing. Without pressing, it went straight into new French oak barrels, where it underwent alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation and continued to age for a further 24 months, with the fine lees regularly removed and temperature and humidity controlled.</p>

<p>Xisto Roquette &amp; Cazes Red Wine</p> <p>On the nose, Xisto Roquette &amp; Cazes shows notes of fresh forest fruit well integrated with elegant hints of spices and rock rose.</p> <p>On the palate it has an elegant attack, evolving into a wine with excellent dimension and structure, made up of fresh, fine-textured tannins. A wine made using Bordeaux technology but which reflects the identity of the Douro. It finishes harmoniously and with excellent persistence.</p> <p></p>
