Product details
Hand-picked at their optimum point, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified using a process based on careful maceration to extract colour, tannins and aromas from the skins, complemented by constant pumping over during fermentation. Fermentation takes place in wine presses at a controlled temperature of between 28-30ºC until the desired Baumé level is reached. At this stage, grape brandy (benefit) is added, resulting in a fortified wine. This is a high-quality wine from a single harvest. It ages in wood for varying periods of time, never less than 7 years, and is then bottled according to market demand.

Tasting Notes:
Deep red colour with a tawny hint. The nose is still youthful, revealing lively aromas of raspberries, combined with notes of dried fruits and nuances of spices. The palate is delicate and simultaneously revealing depth and spectrum. Balanced and creamy, with wonderful acidity. It finishes long and persistent.
Store and Serve Advices:
Wine should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from light and temperature fluctuations, and the bottle should remain upright. As a natural product, Port Wine is subject to the formation of deposits as it ages. Once opened, it is recommended to consume it within 4 to 6 months. Serve at a temperature between 14 and 16ºC.
Food Pairing:
Slightly chilled, it expresses all its finesse and sophistication when combined with desserts based on caramel, dried fruits and spices, such as caramel fondant with apple and ginger jelly, tarte tatin, crème brûlée and medium-intensity cheeses. Despite its age, its freshness remains. An extraordinary pairing with a refreshing tangerine parfait. The multitude of possible pairings is surprising, leaving the consumer with the pleasure of discovering new flavours.
