WINE DESCRIPTION

Abacela Port is a premium fortified wine produced by Abacela Winery, located in the Umpqua Valley appellation of Oregon. The winery is known for its commitment to Spanish varietals, and the grapes used to make this Port are sourced from their estate vineyards. The vineyards are situated on steep hillsides with diverse soils, providing ideal growing conditions for the grapes. The winemaking process involves fortifying the wine with brandy, resulting in a rich and complex flavor profile with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. Abacela Port is a perfect after-dinner drink, and its smooth and velvety texture makes it a popular choice among wine enthusiasts.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Abacela Port is a robust and complex port-style dessert wine.On the nose it has aromas of black cherry, blackberry, fig, and a hint of spice. The palate is lush and velvety, with a rich, full-bodied texture and flavors of dark fruits, toffee, and chocolate. The finish is long and smooth, with lingering notes of dark fruit and spices. Enjoy this port with roasted meats, aged cheeses, or simply on its own.

ORIGINS

Winery: Abacela

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
