Product details
Following a very long cold winter and a relatively cool spring and early summer, it was only in September that the weather really picked up and fruit achieved full ripeness so, in general, the harvest started late with some full bodied wines being made in granite "lagares" with foot treading.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Franca,Tinta Roriz,Tinto Cão,Tinta Francisca,Touriga Nacional,Tinta Amarela,Sousão
Tasting Notes:
Dark amber core colour and lighter rim, reminiscent of a youngish Colheita-style Port. Sharp and beautifully complex, as a result of the longer-than-usual time spent in casks. Hazelnuts gently showing through the ever-decreasing fruit. In the mouth it shows lovely acidity, making it sharp and elegant, with great complexity and balance. Quite spicy, moving away from the fresher fruits into hazelnuts and prunes. The finish is fresh and at the same time delicate and very long.
Store and Serve Advices:
Recommended serving at a temperature of 16 to 18ºC.
Food Pairing:
The Garrafeira is a fine and elegant port and is best appreciated on its own (without food) and in good company (human).
