Francisco "Xito" Olazabal is the master behind this beautiful wine. A vineyard steeped in history, this immense Estate is a standard bearer for the Douro and Portugal.
The Olazabal family, proud owners and descendants of the founder, Antonia Adelaide Ferreira, Since 1998, Winemaker Xito Olazabal has been pouring his passion into the character of his wines.
The wine comes from a tight selection of grapes produced in the oldest vineyards of the Quinta, aged over 35 years. It results from the combination of several varieties, in which Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca usually represent 90% and Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão the remaining 10%.
The grapes of each variety are harvested and vinified separately. After being crushed and destemmed in granite mills, they are trodden on foot. Subsequently, they are transferred to vats where fermentation takes place for eight days. After alcoholic fermentation the wine spends 16 to 18 months in barrel, divided between new and second year barrels, with proportions that vary from year to year.
Aromas of violets, flint and dark fruits follow through to a full body with super well-integrated tannins that are silky and polished. Intense flavours to this harmonious red.

New & Exciting
There are very few wine shops as good as Butlers, years of buying wines from them. There is always something new & exciting to pick out off the shelves and if you’re in any doubt the advice is considered and insightful.

Brilliant Butlers!
Words can't express the brilliance of Butlers or the thoughtfulness, expertise and compassion of their team! Whilst packing up to move internationally a friend died and I needed to organise an emergency case of something luscious to support the wake. Not only did their wonderful team organise and deliver within an incredibly tight deadline they drafted a message for me too which I approved. Wonderful!!

Delightful, delicious, delectable
As a lockdown convert, I'm an online customer, but the clear website, with interesting blogs and some comprehensive descriptions, really helps to steer you. Great advice when needed and great service too.

Sourcing Stock
Henry and Team managed to locate some difficult to find American wine which they kindly offered and I gratefully accepted. They truly differentiate by being able to surprise by sourcing stock very much outside the run of the mill.

Great Wine/Spirit shop with knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff
This was my second visit to Butlers Wine Cellar and on both occasions the service has been wonderful. The young lady assisted me and my wife on a number of purchases of wine and sherry and seemed very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. Having tasted them she was spot on with her comments on each bottle. I would highly recommend anyone to use this shop.
