Clear chestnut color with hints of ruby. Rich aromas of raisins, caramel and dried fruits. Elegant, with medium sweetness and a long toffee finish. In warm weather, chill and drink as an aperitif. Serve with foie gras, blue cheeses, creamy cheese, cheese quiches, coffee and dried fruits. Fermentation takes place in traditional lagares at the Quinta. Grapes are foot-crushed, without de-stemming: grape skins and stems are mixed with the must to extract the maximum amount of aromas, color and flavors. When the ideal residual sugar levels are achieved, the young wine is fortified by adding 100% natural grape brandy, stopping the alcoholic fermentation and preserving the grape natural sugars. Barrel-ageing: Average of 10 years in pipas (550-litre casks), made of native oak and chestnut tree. Filtration: None.
