The current blend is a harmonious composition of vintages from various decades. Older material contributes the irresistible rancio characters of nutty, apricot loveliness, and butterscotch, while younger wines lend a sense of freshness and vitality.
Visually striking, the wine presents a vibrant red-amber hue, while its aroma captivates with a hint of sweet young raisins. As you take a sip, your palate is embraced by a rich tapestry of flavours, including nutty raisin and sun-ripened apricot. Though delightfully full and sweet, it sidesteps being overly cloying.
The result is a fortified wine with complex character — rich, sweet, and elevated in alcohol content. The finish is the pièce de résistance: a lingering, smooth experience that leaves an indelible liqueur-like impression.
