After a slight fermentation process, the clarified must is “muffled" with eau de vie (Aguardente) thus stopping the fermentation process and leaving an immense amount of residual sugar. The aging is prolonged for 5 years in used oak casks, where the "muffled wine' acquires all its complexity. After the aging in oak, it remains in stainless steel until its bottling.
Producer: Quinta da Alorna
Winemaker: Martta Reis Simoes
Region: Tejo
Style: Fortified
Grape Varietals: Fernão Pires
Tasting Notes: Yellowish colour, similar to onion skin. Aroma of honey and nuts, with a highlight of figs and almonds. Caramel and roasting are also part of the bouquet. Smooth texture in the mouth, balanced between sensations of freshness and sweetness. The aftertaste is persistent with lasting flavours of nuts.
