Non Vintage
Douro, Portugal
Grape Varieties: Traditional grapes from Douro, mainly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz.
Vinification
Hand-harvest at their best moment, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and
vinified in a careful maceration with extraction of colour, tannins and pellicle
aromas, complemented by permanent pumping-over during fermentation. This
process takes place in stainless-steel vats at a controlled temperature between 28-
30ºC, until reaching the desired Baumé. At this phase grape brandy is added
(benefit), originating a fortified wine. A wine of an exceptional quality, obtained by
the lotation of wines with variable levels of maturation and sources.
Tasting Notes
Intense garnet colour with violet hints. Elegant and charming nose, dominated by
the strength of red fruits reminding us of jams. In the mouth, it is balanced, intense and well structured, standing-out is the excellence of the red fruit.
Recommendations
The wine should be stored in a fresh, dry and dark place, without temperature
variations, and the bottle must remain up-right. As a natural product, the Port Wine
is subject to create deposit when ageing. Once opened, it should be consumed
within 2 to 4 months. The periods here suggested are merely for guidance, not
implying the deterioration of the wine but only a slow evolution that can lead to the
loss of its original sensorial characteristics. The joviality and exuberance of the fruit
makes it the ideal choice to serve with rich chocolate desserts and/or wild fruits.
Absolutely delicious with cheesecakes, Panna Cotta with raspberry syrup, truffles of
chocolate and cheeses of medium intensity, like camembert. The multiplicity of
possible harmonies is superb, having the consumer the pleasure to go in search of
new flavours. Serve at a temperature between 12 and 14ºC.
