This award winning Vintage Port has an opaque, almost black color. The aroma is intense and complex, with prominent notes of well-ripened black fruit and resin, as well as hints of cocoa and chocolate as a result of its excellent maturation. Great volume on the palate, with a vibrant and fresh acidity, firm high-quality tannin's, floral notes of rock rose and hints of black fruit and chocolate. A great invitation for a very long and elegant finish.

40% T. Franca, 40% T. Nacional, 10% Tinta Roriz, 5% Tinto Cão, 5% Sousão

After the harvest, the wine remained in the Douro, where it was subjected to its first racking during the winter. The following spring, it was transferred to Vila Nova de Gaia, where it underwent the traditional aging process for Porto Wines in oak casks. During this period, the wines were subjected to racking, analysis and testing to monitor the aging process. The final lot underwent a rigorous selection process, with only those of the highest quality being used.

Its elegant and complex profile combines wonderfully with a variety cheeses.
