Product details
It was produced according to traditional Porto Wine methods. Grapes were handpicked at their optimal point of ripeness. Fermentation, which took place after pressing in stainless steel vats, was duly interrupted on its 3rd day through the addition of aguardente, a grape spirit. The resulting wines are naturally sweet and complex, dark and full-bodied with a rich aromatic density. Batches of wines compatible with the Offley Porto LBV style were transported to the traditional cellars at Vila Nova de Gaia, where they aged for 4 years in oak casks, under ideal temperature and humidity conditions. The balanced and gradual evolution of these wines was the subject of constant attention from the Offley winemaking team, which created the final blend following painstaking tasting and evaluation of individual lots. The resulting wine was then bottled without cold stabilization, making the development of a natural sediment a possibility over the years.
