About this wine
Wine Style:
Palmira Tawny Port is a fortified wine with a deep brown color, featuring flavors of almonds, dried fruits, and toffee. It exceeds all expectations with great freshness, intense aromas, and balance.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: This wine shows a smooth aromatic freshness, and also a rich ripe nutty aroma, the result is a well-balanced and harmonious wine on the nose. Taste: Great feeling of balance between freshness and ageing.
Sommelier's advice:
To enjoy slightly fresh as an aperitif, or to accompany with foie gras, strong cheese and dark chocolate.
Vineyards:
This wine is the result of blending the best wines from several harvests and produced according to the most genuine traditions and from the main grape varieties of the Douro valley.
Maturation:
Part of the wine ages in oak and the final blend age has an average of 3 to 4 years in old oak.
Winemaking process:
Red Douro grapes are macerated on their skins in traditional stone lagares and steel vats, and fermentation is stopped by adding grape spirit at 77% vol, keeping natural sweetness. As a tawny, the wine then ages in wooden casks, slowly gaining its amber colour and nutty notes. The Douro became one of the world's first demarcated wine regions in 1756.
Vinoteka's note
A tawny Port from Douro grapes, blended from wines averaging three to four years in oak. Red with amber glints; fresh and aromatic on the nose with a rich, ripe nutty note, and a palate that balances freshness and age. Serve slightly chilled as an aperitif, or with foie gras and cheese. 19.5%, 90 g/l of sugar.
