The 2021 A Centenária refers to a centenary vineyard (actually around 130 years old) planted with 60% Jaen (Mencía) and the rest a complex field blend of more than 20 varieties, some still not identified, Tinta Amarela, Baga, Negro Mouro, Marufo, Tinta Pinheira, Bastardo, Tinta Carvalha, Tourigo do Douro, Cidreiro, Coração de Galo, Alfrocheiro and Alicante-Bouschet, etc. The difference here is the energy and depth on the palate. The nose is also incredibly perfumed and elegant, like the 2021 Vinha da Serra, floral and spicy. The three single-vineyard wines have different personalities, and that's why they bottle them separately. It has 12% alcohol, a pH of 3.74 and 5.72 grams of acidity. It had a soft vinification with a long infusion in search of elegance. It spent 18 months in used 225- and 500-liter oak barrels. 1,000 bottles were filled in August 2023.
