Likerinis p. saldus
Grapes from various quality vineyards located in Estreito de Câmara de Lobos and São Vicente. Grapes were pressed in a pneumatic press. Arresting of fermentation takes place at the desired degree of sweetness by adding vinic alcohol (96%). This wine achieves its unique characteristics by the estufagem process. It is then matured in oak casks for up to 3 years before blended and bottled. Light gold colour. Hints of apricot jam, tropical fruit, honey and caramel. Very smooth wine on the palate. Well balanced finish, between the sweetness and the freshness left by the acidity.
Total sugar: 88 g/l
Serve at 12-14°C with smoked ham, cheese and dessert.
Vinhos Barbeito was founded in 1946 by Mário Barbeito de Vasconcelos and has since then always been run by members family. Nature plays an important role in the production of their wines. They take advantage of the fact that they are aged in three distinct warehouses, all with different climatic characteristics and different sun exposers. This fact enables them to obtain an enormous variety of wines aged by the Canteiro method. All of these characteristics contribute to Barbeito's unique style: long and fresh acidity after taste.
