Product details
Offley Vintage was produced by the traditional Porto wine method. The hand-picked grapes underwent stalk-removal and crushing before fermentation, under controlled temperature, with skin maceration in order to extract the best components. The addition of wine alcohol at the ideal moment sets the balance between the wine´s body and its bouquet. The wines, naturally sweet and rich, were deeply red in colour and full-bodied, with great power and aromatic concentration. After the harvest, the wines remained in the Douro until the following spring, when they were taken to Vila Nova de Gaia and entered in lodges for ageing as required by Porto wine traditional ageing system. The wines selected for this Offley Vintage were carefully tasted and analysed by the winemaking team that confirmed the excellence of the wines and prepared the final blend. The final wine was bottled in the spring without finning treatment. Offley Vintage will continue its evolution in bottle for several decades.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional,Touriga Franca,Tinta Roriz
Tasting Notes:
Deep colour, almost opaque. Intense and complex aromas of floral and balsamic notes combined with heather, resin, red and black berries and a light spice. On the palate it has good body, lively acidity, and firm tannins with a very long, harmonious finish.
Store and Serve Advices:
Keep the bottle in a horizontal position, away from light and heat. While maturing in bottle, the wine becomes increasingly complex and can age for 30-40 years after bottling. Sediments will naturally form in the bottle, which should be opened carefully and decanted for better appreciation. It is a remarkable wine that profits from being opened some time before consumption. Serve at 16ºC-18ºC.
Food Pairing:
Its elegant and complex profile ideally matches chocolate-rich desserts, red berry tarts and strong cheeses.
Allergens:
Contains sulphites.
