Hidden in the hills near Meda in the Douro Superior Region of northern Portugal is Rita's oldest plot of a vast mixture of 80+ year old Vines. Viticulturist Nuno Rafael said he could identify 'about 20 varieties*, but not all' in this vineyard.. Rita said "2015 was my best harvest ever, and probably the best I will have in some years to come. Everything was perfect, and this was especially noted for the red* wines"

* Note the description "Vihno Tinto" (Red Wine). This is very typical of this region - there are so many varieties in this field (including whites), no variety dominates, it can only be described as "Red Wine" or a "Field Blend" 

“That Rita has the capacity to surprise is a known quantity”…. “And when it comes to what’s in the bottle she certainly delivers” Sarah Ahmed thewinedetetcive.co.uk
