    Product description

    Cockburn’s & Co has always been a pioneer in Douro. They were one of the first to plant single varietal blocks and also invested in the remote region of Douro Superior which proved to be rather successful.

    1997 was an excellent year in the Douro Valley. The crop was small abut produced grapes with wonderfully concentrated flavours, providing outstanding wines with excellent structure and intensearoma. Powerful yet elegant with ripe cherry fruits, chocolate and medicinal scents. Rich on the plalate with velvety tannin and great length.
