Catalogue information
The spring of 1995 was exceptionally warm and by mid-April the vines were in full bloom. In May, the blossoms were overwhelming and it became clear that if conditions remained favorable, there would be plenty of grapes to harvest. The summer, on the other hand, was quite cool, but had very high temperatures in August. thanks to some rain on September 5 and 7, the grapes reached full maturity. The harvest at Quinta de Vargellas started on the 13th of the same month, a week later than in most other areas of other port producers in the region. The sugar content in the fruits turned out to be higher than ever before. Due to the cooler temperatures from the end of September, fermentation was slower than usual, resulting in a high extraction of fruit flavors and color. Color: Deep dark red with purple edge Smell: Perfume bursting with ripe cherry fruit, plum and chocolate notes Taste: broad and refined, well concentrated and balanced with round tannins, exotic seasonings, sweet figs and tutti frutti Finish: Wine of exemplary length with powerful dark fruit Pouring advice: Very elegant glass of wine that, after decanting and served at 18 ° Celsius, combines perfectly in good company and with powerful cheeses such as Roquefort
