Product details
Vinified from grapes from the estates of Caêdo and Porto through traditional technology of Port wine. After selection of grapes, crushing and destemming, very intense maceration is followed during the period of alcoholic fermentation, by foot in granite wineries with controlled temperature. The balance and harmony of this Vintage, as well as its body and structure, are obtained through the selection of grapes, the intensity of maceration and the choice of the moment of the stop of the fermentation. After the harvest the wine remains in the Douro, being subjected during the winter to the first racking and transported to Vila Nova de Gaia the following spring. Here begins the usual process of aging Port Wine in oak barrels. During this period, the wines are subject to raffles, analyses and tests, which allow to accompany their aging. The final batch is obtained after thorough selection of the wines, in the insistent search for the best quality.

Tasting Notes:
Black, opaque colour. Aroma of great complexity and intensity, with black fruits in raisins such as plum and fig. It reveals balsamic notes to heather and sous bois, notes of liquorice, cocoa and chocolate, fruit of an excellent maturation. In the mouth it is dense, voluminous, with well integrated acidity presenting notes of milk chocolate with cherry and an end of great longevity and complexity.
