Cálem Velhotes Tawny a rich and aromatic wine, with the perfect level of sweetness.
VINIFICATION
Hand-picked at the optimum time, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and converted into wine through a process of careful maceration, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C) until the right degree of sweetness (baumé) is achieved. At this point, grape brandy is added to create the final fortified wine.
VINEYARD
Made by blending wines of different harvests, with different levels of maturation in stainless steel vats and oak casks for a minimum of 3 years, the result is a rich and aromatic wine, with the perfect level of sweetness.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
The ideal wine to have with desserts that include caramel, coffee, apricot or dried fruit. Perfect with caramelised walnuts, tiramisu, hazelnut meringue pie and mild cheeses (such as Brie).
