- Theme: The parcel n. 24 is a unique vineyard in Portugal: a 1,55Ha massal selection of Syrah, which cuttings were brought from over 60-years old vines, from their original roots in the Rhône Valley in France (Hermitage, Côte Rôtie, Saint Joseph). The great genetic variability in this vineyard (different from an usual clonal selection), and the high plantation density (8.000 vines per hectare, twice as much as in the remaining vineyards), give birth to an extremely complex wine.
