IDENTITY

Late harvest wine with 108 g sugar/litre, made from Touriga Nacional grapes naturally dehydrated on the vines.

TASTING NOTES

Deep impenetrable colour. Intense and perfumed with notes of flowers and nutmeg, black fruit and cedar wood. Opulent and very full-bodied on the palate, with a creamy and mouth-filling sweetness. Long and fragrant finish, reminiscent of a vintage port. A unique dessert wine from the Algarve!

Handcrafted wine, without filtering or fining.
Grapes from carefully tended vines with strong yield reduction.
