Product details
Harvested by hand at their optimum point, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified according to a process based on careful maceration with extraction of colour, tannins and aromas from the films, complemented by permanent reassembly during fermentation. This takes place in mills, at a controlled temperature between 28-30ºC, until reaching the desired Baume degree. In this phase, the wine brandy (benefit) is added, giving rise to a fortified wine. Nature offers us special years. Different from year to year, due to particular conditions, each Colheita da Cálem gives rise to unique wines, of exceptional character and premium quality. Cálem ages all Harvest Ports for a minimum period of 10 years and only bottles according to market needs, keeping all the remaining wine evolving in wood, thus gaining a unique complexity.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional,Tinta Roriz,Touriga Franca,Tinta Barroca
Tasting Notes:
With a red hue, with orange hints, this Colheita presents itself, on the nose, with pleasant notes of ripe fruit, dried fruits and slight notes of cocoa. In the mouth, the sweet flavours of fruit in syrup such as cherry and Ginja stand out, which complement the sharp acidity of this harvest and harmonize perfectly with the memories of your aging in wood and end in a long finish.
Store and Serve Advices:
The wine must be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from light and temperature fluctuations and the bottle must remain in an upright position. As a natural product, Port Wine is subject to creating a deposit with age. Once the bottle is opened, it is recommended to consume it within 4 to 6 months. Serve at a temperature between 14 and 16ºC.
Food Pairing:
Slightly refreshed, it expresses all finesse and sophistication when combined with caramel-based desserts, nuts and spices, such as caramel fondant with apple and ginger jam, tarte tatin, crème brûlée and medium-intensity cheeses. Despite the age, the freshness remains. Extraordinary marriage with a refreshing tangerine parfait.
