Named after the historic stone markers that once guarded Portugal's finest Douro vineyards, this exceptional release unites four legendary hillside estates in the Pinhão Valley. Crafted by sixth-generation winemaker David Guimaraens, it balances remarkable aging potential with immediate charm, skipping the harsh dryness often found in young vintage ports. The result is a wonderfully vibrant pour overflowing with ripe wild blackberries, gentle floral notes, and a silky, comforting warmth. It is an unforgettable bottle to share with friends over rich blue cheeses or dark chocolate at the end of an evening.
