Made from Sercial grapes and fortified with unflavored grape spirits and matured in wood with a delicate, intentional warming of the wine (estufagem). An amber color with golden reflections and an aroma with alternating notes of walnut, peat, smoked salmon, enamel, tart apricot, white flowers and woody spice. The mouthfeel has a floral attack and the center of the palate is quite sticky and smoky while the finish has an amazing saline boldness and is tart, very juicy, slightly and pleasingly smoky with a black tea sensation and an incredible persistence.
Drink this as an aperitif (with nuts, olives and so on), with raw fish (sushi in particular) or smoked fish and with vegetarian dishes rich in vinegar. It is also excellent with grilled fatty meats. Once opened it will keep for years.
