WINEMAKING 
Port Wine 20 Years is produced using the traditional method. After the manual grape harvest, the grapes are partially destemmed and crushed into a tank, where a slight maceration occurs before alcoholic fermentation (AF). Fermentation is stopped by adding brandy at the ideal moment, as defined by the winemaker. This results in a fortified wine that ages in oak casks in the Douro for between 15 and 30 years, during which time the lees are removed and various adjustments are made. The final blend is obtained by blending several wines selected by the winemakers, with an average age of 20 years. They are filtered before bottling in Gaia. 
 
TASTING NOTES 
A bright wine with intense amber color and a golden brown rim. It has aromas of jam and nuts, orange blossom, and spicy wood. On the palate, it has notes of dried fruits, salted caramel, honey, and vanilla. 
 
FOOD PAIRING 
Ideal as an aperitif or dessert wine. Perfect to accompany Crème Caramel or, for the more adventurous, Foie Gras. 
 
STORAGE 
It is recommended to store it in a cool place, at a constant temperature (ideal storage temperature 12ºC), away from light and in a horizontal position.
