Clear, rich amber color. Mellow aromas of raisins, toasted cocoa, melted brown sugar and dried fruits. Velvety taste of sultanas and figs, with a long, rich finish. In warm weather, chill and drink as an aperitif. Serve with blue or mature hard cheeses, coffee and almond desserts and dried fruits: dates, figs, apricots...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 20 years in pipas (550-litre casks), made of native oak and chestnut tree. Filtration: None.
