Medium tawny in colour. Aromas of dried fruit flavour, with scents of vanilla. The Port is full bodied with well integrated tannins and a long and harmonious finish.

Made from grapes which are harvested manually from vines 40-60 years in age. Controlled fermentation with extended maceration, stopped by grape brandy addition. Aged in oak casks for a period of no less than 7 years. During maturation, the wine mellows through oxidization, similar to Old Port Wines, and presents characteristics that are unique from the particular harvest year.
