This Porto wine offers a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity, making it a delightful choice for those seeking a refined and elegant drinking experience.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, this Port offers a rich and complex bouquet.Notes of dried fruits, such as raisins and figs, mingle with hints of caramel and toffee. There is also a subtle undertone of spice, adding depth to the aroma.
The palate is equally impressive, with a velvety texture and a harmonious balance of flavors. The dried fruit notes continue to shine, accompanied by flavors of dark chocolate and roasted nuts. The sweetness is well-integrated, providing a luscious mouthfeel without overpowering the other elements.
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of dried fruits and a touch of warmth from the alcohol.

ORIGINS
Winery: São Pedro das Aguias
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
