WP_Query pulling wrong post types?

I've used Custom Post Types and Custom fields to create some portfolio posts but when I try and call them in a loop WP pulls posts from my default "Posts" section rather than my "Portfolio" section.

Here's my code:

<?php

                        $args = array(
                            'post-type' => 'portfolio'
                            );
                        $query = new WP_Query( $args );

                    ?>

                    <div class="caption-container">

                        <?php if( $query->have_posts() ) : while( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

                            <div class="projectcaptions hide-mobile">
                                <div class="worthdesc">
                                    <?php the_post_thumbnail('large'); ?>
                                    <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
                                    <p class="fields"><?php the_field('fields'); ?></p>
                                    <p class="captions"><?php the_field('the_brief'); ?></p>
                                </div>
                            </div>

                        <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

                    <div>

I've double checked to make sure my CPT slug matches the post type query (which it does) but I just can't seem to figure out why its ignoring that array?

Just figured out my syntax was off!

'post-type' should be 'post_type'

Fixed and its now working! Just thought i'd post incase anyone else had this problem...
