About:

An exceptional Port is elaborated with several lots with an average age of 10 years spent in oak casks. It conciliates the age with sweet freshness, demonstrating great elegance.

Vinification:

The wine is produced with grapes from vineyards along the Douro river. Grapes are trodden by foot to obtain the most and this continues during the fermentation in lagares. After fortification with grape brandy, the wine ages for many years in old wood cask.

Tasting Notes:

Delicate nutty aromas and a hint of dried fruits, figs and ripe plum. Demonstrates the wood evolution and is very well balanced on the palate.

Suggestions:

It can be drunk by itself or as an aperitif or with a dessert.
The bottle should be stored in the upright position and with a constant temperature. It should be consumed in short term after opening and it does need to be decanted.
