Produced by the traditional Porto Wine method. The hand-picked grapes undergo stalk-removal and crushing before fermentation, under controlled temperature, with skin maceration, so as to extract the best components. The addition of wine alcohol at the ideal moment sets the balance between the wine´s body and bouquet.

Tasting Notes
LAST TASTED
A golden colour with greenish tints. An aroma of good aromatic intensity and excellent complexity with balsamic notes of cedar and tobacco box, hints of wax and ginger, and spices such as pepper. It has further notes of caramelised fruit and jammy apricots. On the palate, it has good volume and a vibrant acidity with prominent notes of spices and crystallised fruit that invite an extraordinarily long and elegant finish.

Winemaking
Maturation
This wine is aged in traditional oak casks of approximately 640 litres in the Sandeman cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. In these ideal conditions, in terms of temperature and humidity, the Port wines naturally evolve their distinctive bouquet over decades. The final blend is made from wines that demonstrate exceptional ageing potential.
StorageReady for immediate consumption, this wine will not benefit from prolonged ageing in the bottle, although this will likewise not affect its quality. Store the bottle vertically in a cool place away from light.
Serve
Decanting is not necessary. Serve at between 12ºC-14ºC.
EnjoyThis wine is very complex and can be appreciated on its own or paired with desserts that have dried fruit or a caramel base.
