The property’s 61 hectares of vines are spread across the rich clay-limestone soils that dominate the gentle hills of this estate. The entire vineyard is dry farmed, meaning no irrigation is used. Here, three of the world’s most reputed red grape varietals -Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot -are planted and meticulously cared for. The estate produces wines that takes advantage of this exceptional limestone terroir, including Calcario3 do Principal.

A deep ruby red blend of Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Still closed aroma of dark fruit such as blackberry and plum, combined with rockrose, balsamic notes, and leather. Full-bodied, with chalky tannins wrapped in concentrated fruit. Lively acidity. This dry red blend possesses a long, persistent, highly mineral and spicy finish.

Aromas of dark fruit with an herbal twist and a touch of earth. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with supple but focused tannins and a refined texture. Drink now.
