A prominent figure in both Portugal and the Vatican, he played a key role in the creation of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa. He held considerable influence within the Holy See and was even elected Pope, an honour he declined in favour of Julius II. D. Jorge da Costa also lived through the papacies of Sixtus IV, Innocent VIII and Alexander VI, and is remembered as a key architect of the Treaty of Tordesillas. Soil: Granitic soils with sandy and loam-clay structure. Vine age: over 20 years. Vinification: Hand-harvested into 700 kg vats. Ageing: 6 months in French oak and 2 years in tank.
