The wine is made from Muscat d’ Alexandrie (red Hanepoot grapes) from 50 year old vines. It is a fortified wine, in other words, the alcohol has been adjusted to 15%, together with a higher residual sugar of 171.5g/l, to balance the intense muscat flavours. A small amount of Touriga Nacional is added to ensure a good colour. Bright elegant Muscat flavour with a fresh lingering after taste true to the vintage. |
