Description

Intense amber tawny colour. Opulent and voluptuous nose of complex spicy, jammy and nutty aromas, hints of orange flower and a fine oakiness coming from the long period of aging in cask. The palate is full of very rich and concentrated flavour and has a long mellow finish.

Porto

Porto, located in northern Portugal along the Douro River, is renowned for its exceptional fortified wines, particularly Port wine. It benefits from a unique combination of a warm, dry climate and the steep, terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, which contribute to the distinctive character of its wines.
Port wine is the area's most famous export, known for its rich, complex flavours and varied styles, including Ruby, Tawny, Vintage, and LBV (Late Bottled Vintage). These wines are fortified with brandy, which stops fermentation and preserves natural sugars, resulting in a range of profiles from sweet and fruity to dry and nutty. The traditional winemaking methods and the unique terroir of Porto, along with the influence of the nearby Douro Valley, produce wines with deep, robust characteristics and exceptional ageing potential.
Historically, Porto has been a key port for the export of Portuguese wines since the 17th century, making it an integral part of the country's winemaking heritage. Today, it continues to offer a diverse and high-quality wine experience, reflecting both its rich history and its innovative approaches to winemaking.
