The idea of a tribute to the band in the form of a wine bottle was born from a friendly conversation between Alexandre Relvas and Duarte Vasconcelos. The first experience, in 2009, was restricted and private: the wine was circulated only among the band members as a Christmas gift.

A year later, the partnership between Casa Relvas and Xutos & Pontapés gained commercial status with the launch of 500 boxes (one thousand bottles) of a special edition that combines Casa Relvas' winemaking with the band's decoration and visual identity.

All band members were directly involved, namely in the blend's elaboration, the label's image, and the box's choice. The wine expresses exactly the personality of Xutos & Pontapés and is made from excellent grape varieties: Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez, and Touriga Nacional.
