Category: 20 year old Port wine, 20% alcohol by volume
Soil: schists.
ClimateVarieties: A mix of old vines (average age more than 70 years), including traditional varieties such as Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, Rufete and Tinta Amarela.
Vintage: A blend of wines with an average age of 20 years.
Vinification: Traditional, in granite vats (lagares), where the grapes are pressed by treading in order to extract the component elements of the grapes with great precision.
Aging: In 600 litre casks (“pipas”).

Tasting: Gold in colour, with mahogany reflections, this high-class Tawny immediately seduces with the complexity of its aromas: a heady mix of currants, liquorice, cinnamon, candied citrus peel, coffee, cashew, caramel, walnut … and more.

The palate is soft and harmonious, with a fine width which develops in an equally complex fashion. Fresh, flavoursome and well-balanced, it progresses to a long, rich and well-defined finish.

Pairing: Ready for drinking now, and will combine nicely as an aperitif with goat’s cheese on French toast. It would also make a rich combination with calf sweetbreads or a chicken tagine with preserved lemons. For dessert, it provides the perfect accompaniment to a hazelnut chocolate cake or cream coffee cake. Serve at between 10° and 12°.
Keeping: 20 years.
