NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
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.

ORIGINS
Winery: C. da Silva
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
