Torto valley. Quality is determined by the grape varieties, by the age of the vines, their method of
training and the density of planting. All these factors are officially converted into points, the sum of
which determines the final classification of the property. Here, this sum exceeds 1200 points, ensuring
it belongs to a select group of "Class A" properties. Summer was hot in 2004 followed by a wet
September but finally more sun pushed up sugar levels before harvest. After harvest, old lagares (open
granite tanks about 75cm high) are still used to make the best Ports with traditional foot treading of the
grapes without any mechanical crushing. This Port was aged for a couple of years in wood and several
years in bottle before release. It has the potential to age for around 25 years or more.
