| Characteristics: | Pale tawny wine, with personalised aromatic evolution, with well defined tertiary aromas, enhancing a noble wood with vanillas, good and elegant presence of the “Vinagrinho”, noble volatile acidity, and spices, notes of pepper and clove with a slight nutmeg touch. At taste is powerful and fresh revealing well its age, delighting us with its long aftertaste. |
| Drinking temperature: | 16 - 18 °C |
| Drink recommendation: | This 1980 Harvest shows itself as a perfect aperitif slightly chilled for summertime and for wintertime by the fire, together with dry fruits, poultry canapés with Cheddar, grilled mushrooms, hare meat balls, and others. All alone, in the end of a meal, but also with strong cheeses or roasted buttered almonds; it's worth of a royal table. |
Wine fermented after partial destemming at controlled temperature, 24/28 °C, when the must reaches the desired sweetness, fermentation is then interrupted by adding brandy (77 %), ageing in oak wood barrels for a minimum period of seven years, in the warehouses in Vila Nova de Gaia, till bottling.
"Colheitas" are year ports which mature in the barrel as opposed to Vintage ports and be filled only after the seventh year.
