**The Quinta = A field of touriga nacional, tempranillo, tinta cao, souzao, tinta amarela planted in 2004 and 2005. One share entitles holder to 250 lb of a field blend of Quinta grapes in the proportions that they are harvested this year. For example, if 40% of the total Quinta production is Touriga, then 40% of each shareholder’s 250 lb allotment will be Touriga. Harvest will be on a single, specific Saturday to accommodate home winemakers, with date optimized around ripeness of the Touriga Nacional. The Quinta has historically provided superb grapes for a port-style blend as well as dry red blend.
