Messias 10 years old Tawny

€ 22.00

The port wines from Caves Messias produced in the Quinta do Cachao in the Cima Corgo, in the most rugged and inaccessible part of the Douro region. At the Quinta do Cachão one is proud that half of the vineyards belong to the highest classification level of the Douro "A". This Messias Vinho Do Porto 10 years is a mix of different red grapes. It is bottled after a storage of at least two years in a barrel of twenty thousand liters of capacity. Due to the large volume of these barrels, these port wines slowly breathe and oxidize, leaving them darker for longer time and will have a fruity flavor more intense.
