Messias 40 years old Tawny

€ 97.00

The port wines from Caves Messias produced in the Quinta do Cachao in the Cima Corgo, in the most rugged and inaccessible part of the Douro region. At the Quinta do Cachão one is proud that half of the vineyards belong to the highest classification level of the Douro "A". This Messias Vinho Do Porto 40 years is a mix of different red grapes. It is bottled after a storage of at least two years in a barrel of twenty thousand liters of capacity. Due to the large volume of these barrels, these port wines slowly breathe and oxidize, leaving them darker for longer time and will have a fruity flavor more intense.

Amber color with greenish hints. Good aromatic intensity, predominating hints of wood mixed with dry fruit aroma. In the mouth is very well balanced and with a long finish.
