Update:  The barbera was looking very nice and abundant heading into the recent brutal heatwave.  We are seeing some shrivel now but remain optimistic that we will have fruit for at least our #1 position waitlist client.  It is also likely that some non-Quinta field touriga will become available once our current commitments are satisfied.
