Quinta Vale D´Aldeia Tawny Porto

Description

“This Douro Tawny from Quinta Vale D’Aldeia is a delightfully unexpected surprise. Initially, it unfolds with a ruby hue that’s gracefully surrendering to time, settling into an incredibly elegant character. The nose reveals a decadent blend of dried fruits, reminiscent of traditional *doce-de-merluza*, alongside subtle whispers of red berries, likely from Touriga Nacional, and a warm spice complexity hinting at a remarkably long aging potential. On the palate, the exuberance of Aragonez is beautifully balanced by a welcome burst of acidity – a small shock that ensures this wine, undoubtedly a winner of several awards, pairs exquisitely with aged cheeses.”
