Production Method

• Raw materials: Carefully selected white grape varieties including Malvasia Fina, Viosinho, and Gouveio, hand-harvested from terraced vineyards along the steep slopes of Portugal’s Douro Valley
• Distillation process: Traditional port production with fermentation halted by the addition of neutral grape spirits, preserving natural grape sugars
• Maturation: Aged for a minimum of 10 years in seasoned oak casks, allowing slow oxidation that develops complexity while maintaining freshness
