Quinta do Cachão Vintage 1979 Ruby
Fermented wine with partial destemming at a controlled temperature (24-28ºC) when the must reaches the desired sweetness value, fermentation is interrupted by the addition of brandy (77%), later aging in oak wood, in the warehouses in Vila Nova de Gaia until it is bottled, between the 2nd and 3rd year, after approval. Wine with a golden color, with a good evolution of the reduction aromas, with touches of forest fruits and chocolate nuances. The aromas of dried fruits are present, with emphasis on walnuts. In the mouth, all predicates revealed in the aroma are confirmed.
Júlio B. Bastos Alicante Bouschet Red
This wine is a tribute to my father, Julio Bastos. It is a wine that results from the selection of the best grapes from the old vineyards of Alicante Bouschet, which were trodden in marble wineries and vinified with controlled temperatures. The stage is made in new French oak barrels for 14 months. The wine has an opaque and violaceous ruby color, with pure aromas of china ink, liquorice, notes of wild and balsamic fruits. In the mouth it is very broad, dense and silky, with ripe and round tannins. Contains Sulfites.
Kopke Colheita 1979 Tawny
The manufacturing process includes stopping the wort fermentation by adding wine spirit (benefit or brandy), blending wines and aging. Fermentation in oil presses with skin maceration and pumping over at a temperature of 29ºC until reaching the desired Baumé, adding spirit in this phase. High quality wine from a single harvest. It ages in wood for variable periods of time, never less than 7 years, and then bottled according to market requests. Penetrating amber color. It presents a complex and rich bouquet of aromas where the dry fruits predominate. Distinct, balanced and harmonious on the palate. Elegantly combined tannins, which last in the delicious end. Contains sulfites.
