This Roquette e Cazes Xisto is undeniably a wine steeped in the soul of Douro’s granite slopes. Crafted from centenary vines, the grapes – a blend of Touriga Nacional, Aragonez, and the ever-elegant Touriga Francesa – are handled with the reverence the region demands, carefully destemmed and crushed with traditional finesse. The controlled fermentation in conical vats, aided by a French delestage for intense extraction, maintains the necessary sophistication. Following a 20-month aging in new French oak barrels, the wine develops luscious fruit nuances and a wonderfully smooth texture, a perfect partner for grilled beef or a slow-roasted suckling pig.
