Tasting Notes

Appearance of deep purple accompanied by a purple rim. Aroma exuberant of youthful fruit. Dark plums and blackberries with firm grainy tannins on the mid palate giving both structure and power to the wine leading to a grainy but not aggressive finish.

Enjoy

Perfect with “Queijo da Serra”, Stilton or other blue cheeses. Egg based desserts and “pão de ló” (Portuguese sponge based cake).

The grapes were trodden entirely by foot with 100% stems. After fortification with brandy, the Port was left to settle over the winter. In springtime was transferred to a very cool part of the winery at Quinta de Nápoles and racked into pipes.
