{sustainable} Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and others
HONEYED WALNUTS & COFFEE, DRIED FIG & PRUNE, FLESHY PLUM
The wines for this traditional Port blend come from vineyards over 40 years old, are foot-tread (yep!) and fermented in traditional stone lagares before an addition of grape spirit halts the fermentation to preserve the natural sweetness. These young ports are then aged in oak barrels for five to eight years, softening it while bringing delicate nuttiness and toasty tonka bean mystique.
Serving Suggestion: Veal tenderloin w/blueberry sauce & sage. Sweet potato & stilton frittata. Mocha truffle cheesecake.
