Fifteen years of Malvasia: honey, dried fruit and toasted oak.
Tasting note
Brilliant deep amber with light golden tints. A complex nose of dried fruit, honey and toasted oak. Rich, smooth and full, with a pleasant finish.
The story
This grape grows on the south coast near Câmara de Lobos and Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, and in São Jorge and Santana on the north coast. The wine aged in the canteiro system.
Food pairing
With coffee, or as a dessert wine with dried fruit, chocolate mousse or dark chocolate, pralines and cream puffs.
