Tasting Notes

Russet in color with crimson highlights, it offers a fragrant ripe-fruit bouquet with evolving complexity from time in cask. The texture is smooth and silky with subtle oak, balancing freshness and grip into a long, elegant, plumy finish with nutty, spiced nuances.

Food Paring

Serve slightly chilled with almond-based desserts, nut tarts, or fruitcake-style pastries. Dark chocolate, toffee desserts, or a simple plate of toasted nuts are also excellent matches.

Professional Reviews

91 Wine & Spirits Magazine

"Fruit interprets the alcohol in this wine with the orange-citrus scent of rum cake. Then Douro schist cuts the sweetness and strengthens the fruit presence to fuller pear, hazelnut and wildflower honey notes. It ends on a long, peppery buzz, delicious and satisfying."
