Product details
Winemaking:
Over 30 classic Douro grape varieties can be used to make port but only a handful of the best are planted in the Delaforce vineyards, each contributing its unique character and flavour to the blend. These include the Touriga Francesa, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz. The grapes are selected and harvested by hand in mid September and, the case of the Delaforce vineyards, are placed in small trays which keep them in perfect condition during transport to the winery.

expand_moreMore in the elegant style, this Delaforce wine shows plenty of ripe flavors, but then restrains them. It is very pure, a delightful wine that is very drinkable.
