2015 was a dry but well-balanced year that was saved by the right amount of rainfall at exactly the right moment. July and August were mild, with hot days and cold nights, which had a positive influence on the ripening of the grapes. The white grape harvest began on 21 August and the first red wine grapes arrived in the winery from the Quinta da Cabreira in the Douro Superior on 29 August. Exceptional ripening conditions meant that grapes from both Vinha da Ponte and Vinha Maria Teresa vineyards reached such an extraordinary level of ripening that it was possible to declare and bottle both wines. On balance, the wines of 2015 stand out for their generous fruit, natural freshness and extraordinary elegance.
