- WINEMAKER / PRODUCER: Broadbent (Bartholomew Broadbent collaborates with Douro winemakers)
- FARMING: Information not specified; traditional Douro viticulture presumed.
- VARIETY: White grapes typical to white port production such as Malvasia Fina, Gouveio, Codega, Rabigato, etc.
- TERROIR: Douro Valley, Portugal—steep terraced vineyards, schist soils, and a climate that balances hot summers and cool Atlantic-influenced nights.
- VINIFICATION: Completed fermentation fortified with grape spirit to retain residual sweetness and raise alcohol. No specific vessel or yeast details provided.
- AGING: Details not provided; presumably rested in stainless steel or neutral vessels rather than extended oxidative wood aging.
- TASTING NOTES: Pale golden color with enticing honeyed aromas. On the palate, it’s sweet with a nutty undertone—balanced, gently rich, and textural.
- SERVING SUGGESTION: Best served chilled. Delicious neat, over ice, or in a refreshing cocktail—like with tonic water and a twist of lime.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal as an apéritif or paired with light desserts, fresh cheeses, fruit-based desserts, or citrusy small plates.
