Back-to-back Stone Terraces?!?

I've seen a couple of notices that they're declaring, but none of the notices contain an actual list.

I didn't realize they owned Quinta de Roriz. I guess they bought it back in 2009. That somewhat explains why I see that brand at one of my local b&ms that is otherwise SFE heavy.

They use the Quinta mainly for their Douro DOC wines e.g. Chryseia, Post Scriptum and Prazo de Roriz. And then also the SQ mentioned here as I understand.
