Wine Expert Note:

C. da Silva Dalva Ruby Porto graces the eyes with its vibrant ruby-red tint, indicative of its youthful exuberance. The olfactory senses are greeted with a fragrant blend of red and black berries, hints of dark cherries, and a touch of spice. As it cascades onto the palate, this port offers a delightful medley of fresh fruit flavors, harmoniously intertwined with nuances of chocolate and a dash of almond. Its body is medium, but the flavors are bold and vivacious, leading to a finish that is both sweet and slightly spicy. Ideal as an after-dinner treat, this Ruby Porto pairs exceptionally well with chocolate desserts, cheeses, and fruit tarts, making it a versatile addition to any festive occasion.
