Production Method

• Raw materials: Carefully selected white Portuguese grape varieties grown in the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, harvested at optimal ripeness.
• Distillation process: Traditional port production methods with fermentation halted by the addition of grape spirits, preserving the wine’s natural sweetness.
• Maturation: Aged for a full decade in small oak casks, allowing controlled oxidation that develops its distinctive tawny character while maintaining its lighter hue.
• Special techniques: Meticulously blended from various vintages to ensure consistency and complexity, with regular racking to clarify the wine naturally.

Tasting Notes

• Palate: Rich yet balanced flavors of caramelized nuts, orange marmalade, white raisins, and toasted oak with a silky texture that coats the palate.
• Finish: Long and elegant with lingering notes of toffee, spiced honey, and a pleasant subtle nuttiness that balances the sweetness.

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: 10-12°C (50-54°F) for optimal flavor expression.
