Deep red colour; opulent, rich plummy fruit with surprising depth of flavour, expressing pure, youthful and high quality fruit. Concentrated and classy 'premium Ruby' - a great example of Reserve Port.
Food-Pairing
Serve chilled as an aperitif with cheese, (smoked) ham and dried fruits.
Also great with desserts made from chocolate, fresh fruit, red and wild fruits.
Grapes: Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca & Tinta Barroca
Grapes are sourced from Krohn's Quinta do Retiro Novo estate and neighbouring vineyards in the Rio Torto valley near Pinhao.
Fermentation is in temperature controlled stainless steel vats, which is interrupted by the addition of grape spirit to preserve a certain degree of natural sweetness. The Port is aged for 2 years in 547 litre oak barrels (the traditional 'pipe') and large vats. Bottled unfiltered.
