Product details
Grapes from a single year are hand-picked into small transport boxes and vinified using the traditional Port Wine method. After partial destemming, the grapes are lightly crushed into stainless steel tanks. The fermentation of the must takes place at a controlled temperature and is interrupted by the addition of brandy. This is a wine with great ageing potential. A wine from a single harvest, aged in oak casks for a minimum period of 7 years. The year of bottling is indicated on the back label.
Grape Varieties:
Viosinho,Malvasia Fina,Gouveio,Arinto,Cerceal,Rabigato
Tasting Notes:
Bright and excellent golden color. Very complex aroma, with notes of dried fruits such as hazelnuts and almonds standing out, combined with aromas of dried peach and plum and notes of candied fruit. There are still some fine toasted notes from the aging in old wooden barrels. Very elegant palate, good balance between its vibrant acidity and its natural sweetness. It also reveals a flavor that ranges from honey to candied fruit and quite evident toasted nuts. Its freshness is felt throughout the tasting and it finishes velvety and persistent.
Store and Serve Advices:
Store upright in a cool, dry place, away from light and temperature variations. Serve at a temperature between 14°C and 16°C.
Food Pairing:
A pleasant accompaniment with dried fruits: almonds, raisins, peaches and apricots. It also goes well with sweet desserts, with eggs or dried fruit pies, coffee and vanilla. However, it is a wine that can be perfectly drunk on its own, chilled or at the end of a meal. As Port Wine is a natural product, it is susceptible to creating deposits.
Allergens:
Contains sulphites.
