Garrafeira Benfica Fortificado

Description

Garrafeira Benfica O SLB 48 is sourced from various quality vineyards in the Arco de São Jorge area. Vinification: Grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press, and fermentation is halted by adding 96 % wine alcohol. The Malvasia is aged in a cellar for five years in French oak barrels. For this batch we selected wines from our cellars, whose stable temperatures throughout the year yielded a wine with balanced sugar and acidity levels. This wine was aged in barrels and bottled in its purest state. It is excellent as a digestif and pairs well with desserts, cheeses, caramel pudding, passion‑fruit, and crystallised fruit. Technical specifications: Baumé: 3.7 Total sugars: 106 g l⁻¹ Volatile acidity: 0.23 Total acidity: 5.33 pH: 3.40 It should be kept in a dry, airy place. The wine is filtered, does not require decanting, and remains in good condition for several months after opening. SKU: 106186
