Porto Reserva Dona Margarida Tawny

Spontaneous fermentation

Producer: Quinta do Infantado
Colour: Sweet wine
Grape varieties: Tempranillo, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional
Origin: Porto DOC, Douro, Portugal

The grapes come from classified Class A vineyard sites with poor schist soils. The grapes are hand-harvested; after partial destemming, the must ferments in the Lagar with natural yeasts before fermentation is stopped with 77% grape spirit. The wine then matures in old wooden casks or pipes of around 500 to 600 litres, some of them over 50 years old. The cuvée is a non-vintage Tawny with an average age of seven years. Ripe and dried fruit dominate the nose and palate; the style is balanced, medium-bodied and structured, with a long, harmonious finish. Bottling takes place annually at the estate, with around 8.000 bottles numbered.
