Exceptional sweet wines obtained by on-vine drying, with an unctuous mouth balanced by cutting acidity, featuring intense aromas of candied pineapple, mango, candied citrus, dried apricot, honey, dried fruits and sweet spice notes. Very high ageing potential. Star of Jurançon moelleux AOC and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh AOC, also made as ambitious dry wines. Very late-ripening native grape of Béarn (South-West France).
More informations about the wines of Portugal
Portugal has undergone something of a wine revolution over the past two decades, modernizing its winemaking technologies, styles and attitudes. This archetypal Old World country has Long been famous for its fortified wines (Port and Madeira) and its light, tangy Vinho Verde. But it is now attracting much attention for its New wave of Rich, ripe table wines, especially the reds of the Douro Valley. Portugal's place in the wine world is arguably more about its cork production than its wine, but that largely depends on which period of history you choose.
