Deep, golden yellow with a slight amber tinge and a dense texture.
Flavours are accentuated. There are almonds, dried apricots and tropical fruits, as well as candied orange and dried figs. On the finish, we also detect sweet spices and dried Mediterranean herbs.
The taste is warm, soft and sweet. It has a generous measure of freshness, with well-integrated notes of wood. It is a port with an intense flavour, full body and a long-lasting taste.
MANOELLA 10-YEARS OLD WHITE PORT
It is a type of white Port wine from old vineyards at high altitudes. These are vineyards with mixed plantings of grape varieties that are harvested at the same time. The wines are Viosinho, Rabigato, Códega do Larinho and Gouveio. Fermentation of the wine began in granite lagares after foot-rotation. After this, wine distillate was added to the mash to stop the alcoholic fermentation. The wine was then matured for about 10 years in second-hand 630 litre wooden barrels in the Quinta da Manoella lodge.
QUINTA DA MANOELLA
The property is located in Vale do Pinhao and is one of the historic properties that have been in the family for 5 generations. All the wines are produced by Sandra and Jorge Serodio Borges and are very characterful, elegant and pure.
