On the palate, a variety of elegant, mineral nuances unfold with a fresh sweetness. The slight oxidative note of this barrel-aged port enhances the enjoyment and softens the intensity of the sweetness. A wonderfully long finish concludes this flavorful explosion of aromas. Port wine is produced from the typical grape varieties of the Douro Valley, which are still often planted in field blends. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Tinto Cão, and Tinta Barroca, in particular, thrive here on granite and schist soils in terraced vineyards along the Douro River. The maceration in the lagares (barrel-aged wine cellars) is stopped at approximately 7% ABV by the addition of 77% pure wine distillate. The point at which the fermentation stops determines the remaining residual sugar, and thus the sweetness of the port wine. The port then matures in casks for at least two years; depending on the quality level, even up to six years. As a final product, port wine has an alcohol content of 19-22% ABV, making it suitable for long-term storage.","brand":"Messias Porto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52694887891280,"sku":"V07060h","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/messias-tawny-port-0-375l_f7a20152-be79-4cbf-bc96-b8a67641bea1-transparent-zugeschnitten.webp?v=1783433614"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/collections\/messias-porto.oembed","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
