It is a unique reference in the world of Portuguese fortified wines, associated with a profile of great complexity and long aging.

It has a dark topaz color with red and greenish reflections. The aroma features notes of hazelnuts, dried fruit, mint, and spices, creating an intense and captivating whole. On the palate, it is round and fruity, with balanced acidity and a long finish, characteristics that reinforce its elegance and depth.

It can be enjoyed as an aperitif or dessert, with a recommended serving temperature of around 16ºC.
