Description

Deep ruby in colour, with intense fruit on the nose led by blackcurrant and cherry. The palate is rich and silky, with fine tannins and a fresh burst of wild blackberry. A blend of Ports from Quinta da Manoella in the Pinhão Valley, it spends around six years maturing in large oak vats at the winery’s old lodge, which keeps the fruit vibrant and the style approachable.

Serve slightly cool, at around 16 to 18°C, in a small tulip glass. It is a natural partner for dark chocolate, blue cheese such as Stilton, and rich fruit desserts, and works well poured over vanilla ice cream. Once opened, a bottle will keep well for several weeks if stored in a cool place with the stopper firmly in.
