🛠️ Winemaking: This Port is produced with grapes from our old vineyards on different estates along the Douro Valley. Fermentation took place in lagares (traditional stone troughs) with foot treading. After fortification with grape brandy, this wine aged for many years in casks and pipes in our cellars throughout the Douro Valley. Over these long years, the wines were stored and blended.
⏳ Aging: French oak barrels and casks

Notes: Toasted, golden color with a strong green halo. On the nose, a wine from another era, but very lively and delicate. A fabulous concentration of coffee and liqueur that comes through the palate with a long finish. A beautiful crispness to complete this long experience.
🍽️ Serving: Serve slightly chilled; ideally between 12–16ºC (depending on the style).
Excellent with aged cheeses, chocolate, dried fruits and desserts; also perfect on its own.
⏳ Potential for Evolution: Store in a cool, dark place; some styles benefit from bottle aging.
